Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brushed off fears that the Strait of Hormuz would remain blocked due to the Iran war, saying the U.S. has a plan and that traffic will be restored as needed. The conflict sent oil prices higher, while questions about Navy escort readiness and a quick opening of the strait persisted among officials and analysts, who noted skepticism about rapid deployment and execution of a tanker-escort operation.
