Strait of Hormuz stuck in limbo as Trump mulls Iran's latest offer
The Strait of Hormuz remains a flashpoint as President Trump considers Iran's proposal to lift mutual restrictions on the waterway while delaying nuclear talks. Oil prices have risen to over $112 a barrel due to disrupted shipping, and fighting persists between Israel and Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon. Meanwhile, the Panama Canal sees increased traffic as a result of the blockade, and U.S. defense officials face congressional scrutiny over war costs and military readiness.
