The claim needs context before taking it at face value.

First, Donald Trump is known for using strong, absolute language in statements, especially on strategic or military topics. But in reality, the Strait of Hormuz is one of the most critical global shipping routes, and it is not under the sole control of any single country.

Here’s the grounded view:

The strait lies between Iran and Oman

Around 20% of the world’s oil supply passes through it

The United States Navy maintains a strong presence in the region, but it does not legally control or regulate all traffic

International law (like UNCLOS) guarantees transit passage for ships

👉 So while the US Navy can monitor, escort, or influence security, saying “no ship can enter or leave without approval” is more of a political or rhetorical statement, not a literal operational reality.

From a market perspective:

Any tension around the Strait = oil volatility spike

Could impact Brent crude, shipping costs, and risk sentiment across crypto & equities

If you want, I can break down how this kind of news typically affects BTC, ETH, and altcoins short-term.
