In an interview with US media NBC`s `Meet the Press`, Trump said that the Strait of Hormuz remains open to commercial shipping, despite the ongoing exchange of fire between the US and Iran.
Earlier, Iran`s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) declared the Strait of Hormuz closed `until further notice`. However, shortly after this, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that the route is open to all ships legally passing through this international waterway and that shipping is operating normally.
