Analysis Summary
Iran's foreign minister declared the Strait of Hormuz fully open following the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire, and Trump welcomed the announcement. However, multiple sources confirm Trump simultaneously stated the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports remains in effect — meaning the strait's declared openness doesn't actually permit Iranian vessels to transit freely. The 10% oil price drop claim could not be independently verified from available market data.
