Amid heightened US-Iran tensions from the ongoing conflict, Iran has effectively restricted commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz since early March, slashing daily transits from over 100 to a handful and causing massive vessel backlogs and oil price spikes. President Trump and officials like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent have pledged US Navy escorts or multinational coalitions to restore freedom of navigation, with Bessent stating on March 30 that the US will "retake control" over time. However, Pentagon leaders, including Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine, have cited Iranian threats—like potential mines and anti-access/area-denial tactics—rendering escorts unfeasible for now, as confirmed by recent Navy refusals of industry requests. No verified US escorts have occurred, fueling trader caution on timelines despite diplomatic overtures for limited Iranian allowances. Upcoming minesweeping preparations could enable operations within weeks.

Escort refers to United States military or government personnel accompanying or actively providing protective overwatch for a specific commercial vessel or convoy during its transit through the Strait of Hormuz. Personnel do not need to be aboard the commercial vessel to qualify. Escort may occur from a separate naval vessel or from aerial assets assigned to accompany or protect the transit.
A qualifying announcement must be definitive. Suggestions, unconfirmed reports, or other non-definitive statements will not count.
A widespread consensus of credible reporting that United States military or government personnel have escorted at least one commercial vessel on a journey through the Strait of Hormuz will also be sufficient for a “Yes” resolution.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the government and military of the United States; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
