Hormuz Strait Blockade: Iranian Tanker Traffic Halted (legrandcontinent.eu)

• Iranian tanker transit through Hormuz has ceased entirely
• U.S. defense costs in the region have reached $25 billion
• Iran refuses to abandon nuclear and ballistic technology programs

"Maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains constrained, with zero Iranian-linked tankers exiting the strait in recent days, according to data from Kpler. President Trump is receiving briefings on new military options as the cost of the regional conflict reaches $25 billion for the U.S. Iran’s leadership remains steadfast, refusing to negotiate away its nuclear and ballistic capabilities while maintaining its strategic grip on the strait. The current standoff highlights the escalating risk to global energy infrastructure."
