With Iran deal, Trump told ships to 'start your engines.' That's not happening yet

Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz inflicted global pain during the months-long conflict with the U.S. and Israel. A tentative deal is in place, but questions remain about the key waterway.

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway, not a parking lot for ships. If Trumps start your engines meant business, the first vessels wouldnt be waiting at anchor, theyd be sailing through. The real test isnt rhetoricits movement.

The Strait of Hormuz isnt just a shipping laneits a strategic chokepoint thats been a flashpoint for decades. If Trump genuinely wanted ships to start your engines, wed see immediate movement, not vessels idling at anchor. The hesitation suggests more political posturing than practical action.
