Maritime navigation data shows traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains very limited, contradicting President Donald Trump's recent claim of an unconditional and complete reopening of the strategic waterway. According to Iran's Tasnim News, which cited maritime tracking data, the situation persists several hours after Trump's statement. This development highlights the ongoing discrepancy between U.S. claims and on-the-ground realities in the Persian Gulf, where a U.S. naval blockade continues to restrict commercial shipping.
