U.S. Officials Report Oil Still Flowing Through Hormuz Amid Iran’s Closure Claims

U.S. Officials Report Oil Still Flowing Through Hormuz Amid Iran’s Closure Claims

U. S. officials said on 23 August that millions of barrels of oil continued to be shipped daily through the Strait of Hormuz, countering Iran’s claim that the waterway would stay closed, according to Fortune. Earlier, President Donald Trump announced plans to declare the strait U. S. territory, a move rejected by Iran’s deputy foreign minister, chief justice and security council secretary, as reported by Al Jazeera, Fox News and Euronews. The June 17 cease-fire memorandum between the United States and Iran expired on 23 August, prompting Trump to confirm a back-channel with the IRGC (Fox News) and to threaten Oman with military action if it interfered with U. S. interests (AP News).

Iran subsequently signaled a shift to an offensive posture and warned of possible attacks on the U. S. naval blockade (The Independent), while oil prices rose sharply after the cease-fire lapse (NBC News, Fox News, CNBC). A ship exiting the strait was struck by an unidentified projectile, causing damage and a crew casualty (AP News). The United Arab Emirates also suspended all trade and financial transactions with Iran, citing alleged missile launches (CNN, Institute for the Study of War). Throughout, Trump reiterated that the strait was effectively under U. S. control, both at a South Carolina rally (The Guardian) and on social media, while the United States prepared what it called the toughest sanctions on Tehran (The Independent).
