Based on verified claims from the fact-checking database:

• The claim states Donald Trump said the Strait of Hormuz would reopen to shipping immediately after a US-Iran deal is signed. However, on June 15, 2026, President Trump announced the deal and explicitly described the strait as only "partially opened," with full reopening not expected until June 19, 2026¹.
• Live maritime tracking data as of June 15, 2026, showed the strait remained effectively closed, with only 2 ships transiting in the past 24 hours—just 3.3% of the normal average of 60 per day¹.
• The Hormuz Strait Monitor listed the strait's status as "CLOSED" as of June 15, 2026, with 354 vessels waiting to transit and daily throughput at only 3% of normal levels¹.
• Therefore, Trump did not say the strait would reopen "immediately" to shipping; he indicated a gradual process with full reopening scheduled for four days later¹.

Overall validity: 15%
