Trump Claims Oil Traffic Through Strait of Hormuz at Pre-War Levels, Cites Iranian Economic Crisis

Trump stated during a press briefing in Washington, D.C., that oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has returned to pre-war levels, with millions of barrels crossing the strait in the past two days. He claimed the Iranian oil minister resigned, signaling a severe economic crisis in Iran. Trump described Iran's economy as 'collapsed' and noted high inflation as evidence of the crisis. Ria Novosti reported that Trump spoke about oil transit figures through the Strait of Hormuz, but did not provide specific claims about oil levels or the resignation of the Iranian oil minister. Ma'aruf News Agency, however, provided detailed claims about the oil levels, the resignation of the Iranian oil minister, and the economic crisis in Iran. The divergence between the two sources highlights the lack of consensus on the specifics of Trump's statements. Ria Novosti only mentions Trump's general remarks about oil transit figures, while Ma'aruf News Agency provided more detailed claims about the oil levels, economic crisis, and the resignation of the Iranian oil minister.
