Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Recently, three Chinese vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz.

BlockBeats message, March 31, according to Xinhua News Agency: China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that recently, three Chinese vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz, and China expressed its thanks for the assistance provided by relevant parties. The Strait of Hormuz and adjacent waters are important international routes for cargo and energy trade. China calls for an early ceasefire and cessation of hostilities to restore peace and stability in the Gulf region.

Earlier today, U.S. government officials revealed that U.S. President Trump told his staff that even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed, he is still willing to end the United States’ military operations against Iran. This move could extend Tehran’s firm control over that waterway and leave the task of reopening the strait—a complex operation—for later handling. In recent days, Trump and his staff assessed that the mission of clearing this chokepoint would cause the conflict to go beyond his set four- to six-week timeline.

According to PolyBeats monitoring, on the prediction market Polymarket, the probability of “the Strait of Hormuz resuming navigation before the end of April” has been steadily declining and has now fallen to 17%.
