Fresh tensions rise in the Strait of Hormuz as Iran appears to bypass a U.S. naval blockade, with multiple crude carriers continuing transit. Reports suggest over 20 vessels sailed through despite restrictions, while one ship seizure reportedly occurred outside Hormuz. A tanker carrying nearly 2 million barrels is expected to reach Kharg Island as the ceasefire deadline nears. The developments raise questions over the effectiveness of Donald Trump’s strategy, with global oil routes and regional stability at stake.
