Tensions between Iran and the US have eased, reopening shipping routes in the Arabian Gulf. Two Pertamina ships are ready to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for Indonesia's oil exports.
The United States has not guaranteed that Iran will stop collecting tariffs in the Strait of Hormuz after the 60-day transition period ends. This uncertainty threatens Indonesia — which imports 600,000 barrels of crude oil daily through the strait — with rising fuel and LPG prices, inflation, and pressure on consumer purchasing power.
Global oil prices spiked sharply on 19 June 2026 after armed conflict reignited in Lebanon and oil transportation through the Strait of Hormuz remained disrupted due to prolonged geopolitical tensions in the Persian Gulf. Brent crude rose **3.2% to USD 87.42 per barrel**, marking a reversal of a three-week consecutive decline. This event not only reflects the fragility of the global energy supply chain but also exposes the deep dependence of Arab countries—including Palestine—on fuel prices governed by regional security dynamics, a reality that further aggravates the economic burden on Palestinians already battered by blockade and energy infrastructure deficits.
Today, a special ceremony was held at Lakefront Park in Chicago to inaugurate the Obama Presidential Center. The event was attended by former presidents, heads of state, and prominent celebrities. The center is expected to become a symbol of pride for the people of Chicago and the United States. With **12.5 million barrels of oil** passing through the Strait of Hormuz, gasoline prices have dropped below **$4** for the first time since the conflict began—signaling renewed hope for the American public. The Obama Presidential Center is also expected to boost the **local economy** and serve as a vital **educational hub**.
On 18 June 2026, the United States and Iran announced an agreement to extend their temporary ceasefire and resume technical negotiations on Iran’s nuclear programme, including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for international maritime trade. The decision was welcomed positively by several Middle Eastern and European countries, while Rafael Mariano Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), affirmed that 'technical work has now begun' in assessing Tehran’s nuclear compliance. Although not directly involving Palestine, this development could influence the region’s interconnected geopolitical dynamics—particularly regarding economic pressure, humanitarian aid flows, and diplomatic space for parties supporting the rights of the Palestinian people.
Reports claiming that former U.S. President Donald Trump signed a preliminary agreement with Iran to end conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz lack any factual basis in official records. NPR—the cited source—never reported such an event, and no diplomatic records, official announcements from the Government of Iran, the U.S. Pentagon, or the U.S. Department of State support this claim. In reality, Trump has held no presidential authority since January 20, 2021, and U.S.–Iran relations remain tense, with no formal peace agreement in place since 2018. This claim is a classic example of unverified disinformation, potentially misleading readers about the geopolitical realities of the Persian Gulf region and global maritime security.
Three Saudi super tankers, carrying six million barrels of crude oil, sailed through the Strait of Hormuz several hours after the US-Iran ceasefire agreement — the largest shipment through the strait in several weeks.
