How the call settles
The Strait of Hormuz is not reopened to unrestricted, toll-free transit during the announced two-week ceasefire period
Our reasoning
YES on the research record because Despite Trump's condition of a 'COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING,' the Strait of Hormuz stayed effectively closed through the April 8-22 pause: Iran charged transit tolls above $1 million per ship (a reported $2M/vessel scheme shared with Oman), only four dry-cargo ships passed on day one, and traffic ran roughly 95% below pre-crisis levels. Toll-free reopening only came via the June 17 MOU.. Applied stored rule: The Strait of Hormuz is not reopened to unrestricted, toll-free transit during the announced two-week ceasefire period.
