The U.S. is meticulously monitoring the flow of oil tankers through the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Wednesday. The strait is a pivotal shipping corridor near Iran, critical for oil transport.

Despite the intensified surveillance, Leavitt acknowledged the absence of any definitive timeline for unhindered tanker movement through the strait, a situation closely connected to current military tensions in the region.

Leavitt remains optimistic about fuel price stabilization, crediting the Trump administration's focus on boosting domestic energy production as a factor mitigating potential supply disruptions and price hikes once the military situation in Iran de-escalates.
