Since the announcement of a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran on April 8, the Strait of Hormuz has seen limited ship movement, with only 12 vessels crossing as of April 9. This includes four tankers and three bulk carriers, according to data from Kpler. While Iran has agreed to halt hostilities temporarily, it continues to maintain control over the strait, as evidenced by the incident involving the Botswana-flagged liquefied natural gas tanker, Nidi, which was forced to turn back. US President Donald Trump has criticized Iran's management of the strait, claiming it is charging tolls for passage and expressing doubt about the ceasefire's effectiveness. Trump stated, “Iran is doing a very poor job... of allowing oil to pass through the Strait of Hormuz,” and emphasized that such tolls should cease immediately. The White House has supported the reopening of the strait but opposes any revenue-generating actions by Iran's military.
