By announcing a new naval operation to provide security for vessels to transit the Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump had “effectively” admitted that his naval blockade of the critical shipping waterway was a failure, Bloomberg columnist Javier Blas argued on Monday.

“The push to re-open the Strait of Hormuz today, with two US warships crossing it and two US-flagged merchant vessels, signals the White House realizes it cannot keep waiting for the blockade to force Iran into the negotiation table,” Blas wrote in a social media post on X.

“Effectively, it's an admission the blockade isn't working (if the blockade is seen as a means to get Iranian concessions, rather than an end in itself). The timeline of what the blockade would do to the Iranian oil industry was completely wrong.”
