Iran and Oman are believed to be collaborating to draft policies that would facilitate and ensure safe passage for ships moving through the strait.

The deal comes after China cleared Argentine corn imports in 2024, and as the South American nation has recently kicked off a bumper harvest.

Only one Turkish-owned ship has received permission to pass through Hormuz since the start of the conflict.

Grocery stores, restaurants, hospitals and even schools are most likely seeing costs for their food shipping climb.

Countries short of oil as a result of the Hormuz closure should either buy from the U.S. or “go to the Strait and TAKE IT,” Trump said.

While Trump has said it would be “an easy Military Operation,” European defense officials have warned it would be an incredibly complex and dangerous task. 

Anyone hoping for an official “open” or “closed” sign at the Strait of Hormuz is going to be disappointed. 

The United Nations warned last month that the U.S. campaign is having an “increasingly severe impact” on hospitals, public sanitation, water delivery and food distribution.

A trickle of cargo ships and tankers have made it through the strait of Hormuz since Iranian forces in effect blocked the strait.

Iran clarified this week that ships from “hostile” nations are barred from navigating the strait, but overall maritime traffic remains all but halted, tracking shows.
