Trump Says Oil Ships Resume Movement Through Strait Of Hormuz After Iran Deal

The CSR Journal Magazine

US President Donald Trump on Monday said ships carrying oil had begun moving out of the Strait of Hormuz following his announcement that a peace agreement between the United States and Iran had been completed, signalling a possible easing of tensions in West Asia.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said maritime traffic through the strategically important waterway had resumed and described the designated shipping corridor as safe.

“Ships are starting to move, many loaded up with Oil, out of the Strait of Hormuz. They are going along the Southern ‘Highway’, which is totally safe, secure, and pristine. There are other areas of travel, also,” Trump wrote.

Trump Declares Iran Deal Complete

The remarks came a day after Trump announced that the agreement with Iran had been finalised and declared the end of the US naval blockade around the critical oil transit route.

“The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorise the toll-free opening of the Strait of Hormuz and, simultaneously herewith, authorise the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!” Trump said in another post on Sunday.

In a separate message, the US President said the strategic waterway would formally reopen following the signing of the agreement in Geneva on Friday. He described the accord as a breakthrough that would bring “Peace and Security” to the region.

“This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region. Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me. The Leaders of the Region have, for the first time, found a President who can help them achieve real Peace,” Trump wrote.

He added that the opening of the Strait after the signing ceremony would restore the flow of oil and facilitate mine removal operations.

Strait Of Hormuz Remains Under Global Focus

The Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important energy chokepoints, has remained under close international scrutiny amid rising tensions in West Asia. A significant share of global crude oil exports passes through the narrow waterway, making stability in the region vital for energy markets and international trade.

Trump’s latest comments come as diplomatic efforts intensify to secure a lasting understanding between Washington and Tehran after months of heightened tensions.

JD Vance Links Sanctions Relief To Compliance

Meanwhile, US Vice President JD Vance said the agreement had already been signed digitally by both sides on Sunday.

Speaking about the next phase of implementation, Vance said sanctions relief for Iran would be contingent upon Tehran adhering to the terms of the agreement.

According to him, compliance measures would include arrangements relating to Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium and mechanisms to verify the fulfilment of commitments.

The formal signing of the agreement is expected to take place in Geneva on Friday, potentially marking a significant step towards reducing tensions in West Asia and ensuring the uninterrupted flow of energy supplies through the Strait of Hormuz.
