Trump Pledges US Support for Ships Stranded in Strait of Hormuz

Former US President Donald Trump has said the United States will assist vessels stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, where hundreds of ships and thousands of seafarers remain unable to pass.

Shipping traffic through the critical النفط route has been severely disrupted for more than two months, with Iran reportedly restricting access to most foreign vessels while allowing its own ships to transit. The الأزمة has left up to 20,000 seafarers stranded and contributed to rising global energy prices.

In remarks on the situation, Trump indicated that Washington would take steps to support affected ships, though specific details of any potential operation were not immediately outlined.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most vital النفط chokepoints, carrying a significant share of global oil exports. Any prolonged disruption to shipping in the area is likely to have wide-reaching economic consequences.

The situation underscores heightened tensions in the region, as international concerns grow over freedom of navigation and the stability of global energy supplies.
