The U.S. military operation against Iran, aimed at dismantling Iran’s Navy and missile infrastructure, has not prioritized reopening the Strait of Hormuz for oil tankers, according to White House press secretary Caroline Levitt. Despite U.S. efforts, Iran has continued to disrupt oil shipments, raising global crude oil prices. Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested the strait would reopen either through Iran’s compliance with international law or international intervention. President Trump threatened to target Iran’s electric plants and oil facilities if the strait isn’t reopened. The operation, named Operation Epic Fury, is nearing its 30th day, with a potential timeline of four to six weeks.
