Strait of Hormuz Remains Blocked

Iran's military has claimed difficulty in locating and clearing mines it previously deployed, a situation U.S. officials view with skepticism.

The ongoing blockade has kept global energy supplies tight, with only a handful of vessels successfully transiting the chokepoint since the pause in hostilities.

A U.K.-led coalition of 40 nations is currently coordinating plans to secure the route and restore the flow of oil and gas.

Meanwhile, airports and industries across Europe and Asia are warning of systemic fuel shortages if traffic does not resume within the next three weeks.
