Trump Claims Iran Sends 20 Oil Tankers Through the Strait of Hormuz as a "Sign of Respect"

President Donald Trump stated that Iran will send 20 oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz starting tomorrow as a "sign of respect" during ongoing negotiations.
Trump described these ships as "large oil-carrying vessels" that will begin transiting soon. This statement was made amid rising tensions between the United States and Iran related to conflicts affecting global energy routes.
The claim comes after Iran previously limited vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic passageway through which about 20% of the world's oil supplies pass. This restriction caused a drastic decline in shipping activity and triggered a surge in global energy prices.
In recent days, limited access has been granted to certain ships, especially those considered not involved in the conflict. However, the volume of vessel traffic remains well below normal levels, reflecting the high risks in the region.
Trump also stated that this move is a positive signal in the negotiations between the two countries, although there is no certainty regarding a broader agreement. He added that the chances of reaching an agreement are still open but depend on future developments.
The Strait of Hormuz has become a focal point of global attention in recent weeks due to conflicts involving major world powers. Any policy changes related to this route have a direct impact on oil prices, market stability, and international energy supply chains.
With the potential reopening of oil shipping routes, the market is now watching whether this move will lead to a normalization of energy distribution or if it is only temporary amid ongoing tensions.
