Following a US-Iran agreement, expectations are rising that oil and LNG shipments could resume through the Strait of Hormuz, though a rapid return to normal levels is not assured. One report notes that US President Donald Trump publicly urged shipping to restart, writing that “Ships of the World” should return and that “the oil” should flow again. The Conversation and Asia Times both frame the near-term situation as gradual rather than immediate, pointing to practical constraints on moving vessels, restoring routes, and reestablishing supply flows after disruptions linked to regional tensions.
