Caption: Trump Claims ‘Victory’ as US Prepares to Ease Hormuz Oil Bottleneck. U.S. President Donald Trump says America is ready to step in and help manage the growing traffic jam in the Strait of Hormuz following a last-minute ceasefire deal with Iran. The agreement depends on Iran pausing its blockade of oil and gas flows through the strait — a route that normally carries about 20% of global energy shipments. Trump said the U.S. would position resources in the area, ready to support operations and ensure everything runs smoothly. Framing the development as a “total and complete victory,” he highlighted the potential economic upside, suggesting that reopening the route could unlock major profits and even help kickstart Iran’s reconstruction. The impact could be huge. Since the conflict began, massive volumes of oil have been stuck in the region, around 130 million barrels of crude and 46 million barrels of refined fuel, spread across roughly 200 tankers. If the ceasefire holds and the strait fully reopens, global energy markets could see immediate relief. But for now, everything hinges on whether Iran follows through.
