US forces block over 70 tankers in Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing conflict

U.S. forces have blocked over 70 tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, indicating continued disruption amid the ongoing 2026 conflict. Market sentiment suggests a low probability of Trump announcing the lifting of the blockade by May 31, and a low chance of normal traffic resuming by May 15. Monitoring U.S. and Iranian military strategies and international reactions is crucial.
