Trump: Oil Tankers Starting to Exit Strait of Hormuz

U.S. President Donald Trump stated on June 15 (local time), the day after reaching a ceasefire agreement with Iran, that oil tankers previously trapped in the Strait of Hormuz due to Iran's blockade have begun to exit the area.

In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, President Trump wrote, "Ships are starting to move out of the Strait of Hormuz," adding, "Many of them are carrying oil."

President Trump further noted, "These ships are moving along a completely safe and clear southern route," and added, "There are other routes available as well."

While announcing the agreement with Iran the previous day, President Trump had stated that the Strait of Hormuz would be fully opened as soon as the agreement is signed on June 19.

Although the formal signing has not yet taken place, the situation is being interpreted as President Trump signaling that the strait is returning to normal, with ships trapped in the waterway moving out one after another, following the mutual agreement between the two sides to cease hostilities.
