At a Chicago news conference, former President Donald Trump claimed the United States transported a larger volume of oil via the Hormuz route than before the conflict, rejected Iran’s seven-day ceasefire plan, and predicted the war would end soon; Tehran insists on diplomacy while warning it is militarily prepared.
Trump claimed the US moved a ‘record amount’ of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, exceeding pre-war volumes.
He rejected Iran’s seven-day peace proposal and said oil prices will fall once Iran surrenders and the war ends.
Iran’s official response favors diplomacy but its military warned it is ready to respond to new attacks.
# What happened
At a news conference in Chicago on Sept. 27, 2026, Donald Trump said the United States transported a record amount of crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz. He said that the volume moved last night exceeded what the United States had extracted before the war.
Trump linked that claim to his broader outlook on the conflict: he said the war will end very soon, that Iran will surrender, and that global oil prices will fall as a result.
# Hormuz route
Trump told reporters the U.S. moved a "record amount" of oil through the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. He contrasted that volume with pre-war extraction levels and presented it as evidence of U.S. logistical capacity and a sign that energy markets will normalize once the conflict ends.
He also directly rejected Iran's recent seven-day ceasefire and peace outline, which Iran had offered in an attempt to de-escalate fighting across the region.
# Iran's response
# How this fits into the current crisis
Hormuz is a strategically vital chokepoint for global oil shipments. Claims about shipments and flow levels are politically sensitive and can affect market perceptions. Trump's statement ties an energy claim to a political forecast: that a rapid end to hostilities is forthcoming and that oil prices will drop accordingly.
Iran's mixed message—stating a preference for diplomacy while signaling military readiness—reflects the ongoing diplomatic and security tensions in the region.
