US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday, May 5, he would briefly pause an operation to help escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, citing “great progress” toward a comprehensive agreement with Iran.
Hours earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had outlined the effort that began on Monday, May 4, to escort stranded tankers out of the Gulf. The strait has been virtually shut since the conflict began, blocking about 20% of global oil supplies and triggering a global energy crisis.
