Based on the latest IWF data, during the period from April 17 to April 22, the moving average throughput was only above 10, still significantly below the required 60 for the "traffic return to normal."

On April 29, Trump claimed that Iran had contacted the U.S. requesting the lifting of the naval blockade on Iranian ports. However, as of the latest publicly available information, the U.S. has not announced the lifting of the blockade, and Trump had previously stated that the U.S. blockade on ships heading to Iranian ports would continue until "100% of the deal with Iran" is completed.

From an operational perspective, the strait's restoration still faces security and clearance issues. On April 23, the U.S. tripled the intensity of its mine-clearing operations in the Hormuz Strait. On the same day, Italy announced the dispatch of two mine-clearing vessels to join the international sweeping mission, but it would take about four weeks for the vessels to arrive in the strait from their home ports.
