Measured timeline

📍 How it ended

The story surrounding Trump's claims of a new safe corridor through the Strait of Hormuz has quieted without a definitive conclusion in the recent coverage. Progress in Iran and US-backed plans to find alternatives to the Strait of Hormuz were mentioned as developments, but no direct connection to Trump's claims was established.

The focus shifted to broader regional dynamics and US-Iran relations.

The US-backed plan aims to bypass the strategic waterway, which is currently controlled by Iran. The dredging is part of a broader effort to ease Iran's grip on the Strait.

According to The Times, US ingenuity and force have made significant progress in this regard. Reporting on the extent and impact of the dredging is limited.

The Times suggests that the US is making progress, while jordannews.jo notes that alternatives to the Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb straits are being sought. Washington Examiner's focus on Trump's potential gain from Iran's progress does not provide specific details on the dredging.
