The United States says ships are again leaving the Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump says tankers are starting to move, including vessels loaded with oil, following a peace-related development. Both reports note that uncertainty remains about whether Iran will continue to impose tolls on ships transiting the strategic waterway. While Trump expresses an expectation that there will be no tolls, neither outlet provides confirmation of Iran’s position or details of any enforcement mechanism. The Strait of Hormuz is a key chokepoint for global oil shipments, and the potential reintroduction or continuation of tolls is presented as a factor that could affect navigation plans and shipping costs. The reports therefore characterize the current movement of ships as a positive sign, while still flagging unresolved questions about whether Iran will apply tolls going forward.
