                <media:description>MUSCAT, OMAN - MARCH 30: A police speed boat patrols the port as oil tankers and high speed crafts sit anchored at Muscat Anchorage near the Strait of Hormuz on March 30, 2026 in Muscat, Oman. Several Chinese-owned vessels were reportedly able to transit the Strait of Hormuz today, the day after U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran would allow 20 ships to cross through the vital waterway. Maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, which conveys about a fifth of the world&apos;s oil and gas, has mostly come to a halt after the joint U.S.-Israeli war with Iran that began on February 28.
