Who Really Controls Traffic Through the Strait of America (formerly Hormuz)?

Is it the Shiite Muslim  fundamentalist terror regime in Tehran?

Or

The Evangelical Christian  fundamentalist terror regime in Washington DC?

The Zionist Jewish fundamentalist regime in Tel Aviv has a remote-controlled role over Hormuz, by pulling or loosening their leash on the neck of their imbecile Donald Dumb hound.

Since we hear completely opposite statements on who controls Hormuz by both sides, and since I don't have, nor do I invent "anonymous sources" to pretend knowing, I asked AI the question:

Who really controls traffic through the Strait of Hormuz? and the response was (in italics below):

Neither the United States nor Iran fully controls the Strait of Hormuz. While President Donald Trump and the White House claim the U.S. Navy has "total control" and has cleared the strait of mines, maritime experts and traffic data indicate that Iran retains significant leverage and the ability to disrupt commerce.

Key factors defining the current control status:

Divided Operational Control: The strait is effectively split, with the U.S. Navy overseeing the southern route through Omani waters and Iran controlling the northern route along its own coast. Both nations use military and political tools to constrain traffic.

Traffic Reality: Shipping volumes remain far below pre-war levels, with only a handful of ships transiting daily compared to hundreds before the conflict. This suggests that while the U.S. may have a military presence, it has not restored normal, unfettered commercial navigation.

Iran’s Continued Influence: Despite U.S. claims, Iran continues to threaten and attack vessels it deems unauthorized, maintaining a "psychological and political upper hand." Experts note that Iran is not losing control in the current status quo and can still deter shipping through mines and small boat harassment.

Negotiated Status: Iran and Oman have been negotiating a joint protocol to manage traffic, which would formalize Iranian authority over inbound shipments. The U.S. disputes this, insisting the strait is an international waterway with no tolls or permissions required, but these talks highlight the lack of unilateral U.S. control.

Ultimately, control is contested and divided, with the U.S. projecting military power and Iran exerting geographic and disruptive influence, resulting in a stalemate rather than clear dominance by either side.

Therefore, both terrorist regimes are lying when they claim victory. So, to try to settle the stalemate, I went to objective fact-based sources to look at data, not propaganda, not lies, not hallucinations...

According to: https://hormuzstraitmonitor.com/

-150 ships are waiting to try and go through
- Six ships have transited through over past 24 hours, which is 10% of the normal daily of 68 ships
- Right now, there are three ships moving through the Strait
- Tanker spot rate: 450 world scale points, which is 800% more than pre-crisis (Tanker spot rates represent the price quoted for transporting cargo on a single voyage or short-term basis, determined by current market supply and demand rather than long-term contracts).
- Daily throughput tonnage in DTW (Deadweight tonnage): 1 million, which is 10% of the normal average of 10.3 million.

Therefore, both sides, including the senile demented moron in the White House, are lying. And since he initiated the war (he was duped by his Zionist handlers to go to war), Donald Dumb is, at this time, losing the war because he is not achieving any of the objectives he claimed. AT THIS TIME, Iran has not abandoned its nuclear program. No one knows how much ballistic missile capability the Iranian regime retains. Its regional proxies (Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hashed Shaabi in Iraq) are still operating. And the regime in Tehran has not collapsed, despite the assassination of its leadership by the US and Israel.

Perhaps Donald Dumb is counting on the factor of time, although his freedom to operate militarily may become limited should he lose Congress in the upcoming midterm elections in two months. But I think he wants the war to continue through the elections, calculating that the American people's fatigue and frustrations with his chaotic regressive governance and his inflationary policies and consequences on affordability, grocery and gasoline prices etc. could be overcome by stirring patriotic sentiment, which is very predictable with the dumb American electorate that have historically supported a president at war, even if he is losing the war.

However, unlike all previous wars, the American people was not consulted by Trump on whether waging this war was really necessary (in contrast, he seemed to have favored Zionist Israeli public opinion over the American one).  A majority of Americans didn't, and still don't, believe that Iran, which remains very far from achieving a nuclear bomb, posed an imminent nuclear threat to the US. Which explains why that same majority of Americans appear to be bucking the trend of supporting a president at war.
