U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran is doing a “very poor job” of allowing oil shipments through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, highlighting continued disruptions despite a fragile ceasefire. The waterway, which carries a significant share of global oil supply, remains tightly controlled by Iran, with only limited ships permitted passage. Trump warned that restrictions and reported transit fees are hurting global energy markets and could trigger further escalation if not resolved. Hundreds of vessels remain stalled, and oil prices have surged amid uncertainty. The situation underscores ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran, with fears that prolonged disruption could deepen the global energy crisis. (PC: AP)
