Donald Trump stated that the Strait of Hormuz is open to commercial traffic, despite the reciprocal attacks between the USA and Iran.

In an interview with NBC News' 'Meet the Press', American President Donald Trump stated that the Strait of Hormuz remains open for commercial traffic, despite escalating tensions between the US and Iran. The US military also confirmed that ships are passing freely through this strategic route, despite Iran's announcement regarding the closure of the strait following an incident in which warning shots were fired at a vessel.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy declared that it would close the strait until further notice, which led to a series of reciprocal attacks between the two countries. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) emphasized that Iran does not control the strait and that American forces are prepared to ensure freedom of navigation in the face of Iranian threats.

This situation reflects an escalation of hostilities in the region, impacting international maritime traffic.
