Trump says U.S. "going to keep" Strait of Hormuz and "probably run it"

Context

President Trump says the U.S. will "probably run" the Strait of Hormuz, as dueling attacks with Iran continue over control of the strategic waterway.

What it means

Trump's comment about 'running' the Strait of Hormuz is an escalatory statement, but delfee has been tracking Iran-US military tensions for 16 days with 19 prior signals — including an existing Brent crude upward call. This rhetoric does not represent a genuinely new development or channel beyond what has already been flagged. The risk premium associated with Hormuz disruption is likely already reflected in current crude prices.
