Tension in the Gulf: Trump reports lifting of blockade and new nuclear agreement
US President Donald Trump announced today that the naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz has been lifted, and that agreements have been reached with Iran regarding strict nuclear oversight. According to Watcher Guru, President Trump stated that 19 million barrels of oil passed through the strait in the past day, a figure he defined as an "all-time record." Trump added that oil prices are on a downward trend and that the world has become a "much safer place."
According to a report by WarFront Witness, President Trump noted that Iran has agreed to the highest level of long-term nuclear oversight, a process he termed "Nuclear Honesty." Regarding funding, it was reported that unfrozen funds would be held in American escrow accounts and used for the purchase of humanitarian supplies, such as food and medicine, for Iran.
On the other hand, sources presenting a critical position, such as DD Geopolitics, questioned the data presented by the White House. They claim that the average oil flow before the war stood at 20–21 million barrels per day, making the figure of 19 million lower than the historical average. Additionally, the same channel reported, citing the Iranian news agency "Fars," that vessel transit is still limited and managed in coordination with the Revolutionary Guards, while accusing the US and Israel of violating ceasefire agreements.
Other sources such as Jewish Breaking News, Visegrad24, and Abu Ali Express reiterated Trump's remarks regarding oil records and the improvement in global security. It should be noted that WarFront Witness and Abu Ali Express adopt a critical line toward Iran and Hamas, while DD Geopolitics is identified with a line that challenges the American government narrative.
