Washington: US President Donald Trump stated that the Strait of Hormuz witnessed unprecedented maritime activity following the implementation of Washington\u2019s new diplomatic understanding with Tehran.<\/p>\n
Trump claimed that \u201c19 Millions barrels of oil flowed out of the Hormuz Strait (on Monday) \u2014 an all-time RECORD.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a social media post on Truth Social, Trump lauded the outcome of the diplomatic agreement finalised with Iran last week.<\/p>\n
\u201cOil prices are tumbling down, and the world is a much safer place!\u201d Trump wrote, celebrating the impact of the bilateral understanding.<\/p>\n
Expanding on these assertions during a White House press briefing on Tuesday, Trump claimed that oil transit through the Strait of Hormuz hit an unprecedented high the previous day, framing the development as a significant milestone while affirming that the crucial maritime chokepoint continues to remain completely unobstructed for international maritime trade.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe took in more oil yesterday than has ever gone through the Strait! We have an oil Gusher. The Strait is totally open,\u201d Trump stated.<\/p>\n
Elaborating on the broader diplomatic objectives behind this development, the US President maintained that Washington has successfully secured two vital strategic goals: maintaining unhindered global energy flows through the passage and permanently blocking Iran\u2019s path to an atomic bomb.<\/p>\n
Accentuating the imperative of regional stability, Trump reaffirmed his commitment to peace and stated that his administration is actively engaged in averting any further escalation across the Middle East.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have 2 things! We have an open Strait and we have a country that will never have a nuclear weapon,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n
In alignment with this strategic shift, the United States paused its economic embargo on Iranian crude shipments on Monday, a move initiated after US Vice President JD Vance announced that Tehran would permit the re-entry of United Nations atomic inspectors into the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe laid a very good foundation for a successful final deal,\u201d Vance told journalists after the high-stakes diplomatic deliberations at Switzerland\u2019s luxury Burgenstock resort, which are geared towards concluding the military hostilities involving the US, Israel and Iran.<\/p>\n
Providing Tehran\u2019s perspective on this breakthrough, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei noted that \u201ca very brief discussion took place regarding the nuclear issue, but there was no discussion of details.\u201d<\/p>\n
The ongoing dialogue builds directly on momentum from last week, when the two capitals formalised a memorandum of understanding to structure the framework for the Swiss peace talks, following nearly 40 days of intensive military conflict that eventually gave way to a fragile truce.<\/p>\n
This diplomatic track is specifically structured to confront deep-seated contentions that have strained relations between Washington and Tehran for generations, with a primary focus on Iran\u2019s nuclear enrichment capabilities.<\/p>\n
Highlighting the long-term nature of these negotiations, Vance observed, \u201cThe final deal is the house,\u201d adding, \u201cWe haven\u2019t built the house, but we\u2019ve laid a successful foundation to get to a good place for the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reflecting the immediate economic relief generated by the framework, Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi shared an update on social media, stating: \u201cOil and petrochem exports are waived, blockade lifted, some frozen assets released, and a major reconstruction and development plan launched for Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite these rapid diplomatic strides, regional complications persist, as the Israeli leadership has voiced strong reservations regarding the transitional understanding, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserting on Monday that Tel Aviv\u2019s forces \u201chave full freedom of action to thwart any direct or developing threat\u201d across southern Lebanon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
