Donald Trump Says Strait of Hormuz Will ‘Open Up Automatically’
President Donald Trump said he believes the Strait of Hormuz will reopen “automatically,” arguing that Iran has a strong financial incentive to allow shipping to resume. Speaking to reporters, Trump said the waterway would likely reopen even if the United States stepped back, because Iran “makes no money” if global oil traffic remains blocked.
The strategic strait has been largely closed during the ongoing Iran conflict, severely disrupting global energy markets. Roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply normally passes through the narrow passage between Iran and Oman, making its status critical for global trade and fuel prices.
Trump also expressed confidence that U.S. strikes had significantly weakened Iran’s military capabilities, suggesting Tehran would eventually reopen the shipping route rather than continue the economic pressure created by the blockade.
