The Kabul Tribune (KT) — U.S. President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social that 34 ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday.
He did not provide additional details about the vessels or
their cargo.
The claim comes amid heightened tensions and increased
international attention on maritime activity in the strategically important
waterway.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most strategic
maritime chokepoints, through which a significant share of global oil and
liquefied natural gas shipments passes daily. Any disruption in the waterway is
closely monitored due to its potential impact on global energy prices and
trade.
In recent weeks, tensions involving Iran, the United States,
and regional partners have raised concerns over maritime security in the Gulf.
Several countries have increased monitoring of shipping activity amid conflicting
reports and warnings related to navigation safety and freedom of movement in
the area.
