Analysis Summary
Trump rejected a NATO offer to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, calling the alliance 'useless,' after Iran announced it had reopened the critical shipping route following a ceasefire in the US-Israel conflict. Meanwhile, UK PM Starmer and French President Macron announced plans for a multinational defensive mission to protect commercial shipping and clear mines from the strait. Trump also claimed Iran will remove all sea mines with US assistance and agreed never to close the strait again, though this permanent commitment remains unverified. Oil prices fell sharply on news of the reopening, but Trump said the US blockade of Iranian ports would continue until a full nuclear deal is finalized.
