How the call settles
Iran relinquishes control of the Strait of Hormuz (strait reopened to unrestricted transit on US/Western terms rather than Iran's)
Our reasoning
YES on the research record because As of August 2026 Iran has not relinquished control of the Strait of Hormuz. The Iran-Oman shipping agreement announced Aug 5-7, 2026 routes commercial vessels in through an Iranian-controlled channel, bars U.S. and Israeli vessels, and Tehran conditions any reopening on the U.S. lifting its naval blockade - i.e. transit resumes on Iran's terms, not Western terms.. Applied stored rule: Iran relinquishes control of the Strait of Hormuz (strait reopened to unrestricted transit on US/Western terms rather than Iran's).

As of August 2026 Iran has not relinquished control of the Strait of Hormuz.
