President Trump celebrated the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, but conflicting statements from Iranian officials and Israeli officials have raised doubts about these successes. Danny Citrinowicz, senior fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv, posted concerns about Iran's "overpower" in this round. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of the Iranian parliament, wrote on X late Friday that with the U.S. continuing, the waterway "will not remain open.” However, Kpler, a source for global trade intelligence, reported that the Strait remains “effectively closed” as vessel movements are confined to corridors that require approval. European countries are working on a plan B to ensure movement through the strait, gathering 49 countries to discuss plans of action.
