According to Iranian economic news channels, President Donald Trump stated that vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has reached unprecedented levels, leading to a drop in global oil prices.

Persian-language economic channels reported that President Donald Trump claimed vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has reached unprecedented highs, driving a drop in oil prices. The report aligns with a series of statements Trump has made in recent days about record maritime traffic through the strategic waterway, including Tuesday's claim of 19 million barrels crossing in a single day. The White House has not issued an official statement on the latest figures.
Separately, unverified reports from Iranian Kurdistan describe heavy armed clashes between IRGC forces and Kurdish militant groups in Sardasht and Piranshahr districts, with at least 11 fighters killed. No official confirmation from Iranian authorities has been published.
Additionally, a senior source cited by Al-Arabiya claimed a partial, preliminary agreement was reached regarding the use of some Iranian assets frozen under sanctions — but provided no details or official endorsement.
As The Zioneer reported Thursday morning, Trump stated that oil prices are falling fast and fuel is expected to drop to its lowest level since the US operation in Iran.
