Trump Says U.S. Will Help Clear Strait of Hormuz Backlog After Truce

Trump said the United States will help reopen the Strait of Hormuz after a two-week ceasefire and safe-passage deal eased weeks of shipping disruption.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced the United States will assist with traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz following a two-week ceasefire agreement with Iran that halted US military operations.
  • Trump suspended a planned strike following requests from Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, agreeing to a two-week ceasefire based on Iran's 10-point negotiation proposal.
  • Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi confirmed Iran would cease defensive operations if attacks halt, with safe passage through the Strait possible "via coordination with Iran's Armed Forces and with due consideration of technical limitations."
  • The United States will be "loading up with supplies of all kinds, and just 'hangin' around'" to ensure stability, Trump stated, while the agreement allows Iran to begin the reconstruction process.
  • Trump expressed confidence the deal could lead to a "Golden Age of the Middle East" through a definitive agreement concerning long-term peace with Iran.
