Kevin Hassett, the Director of the National Economic Council at the White House, stated that the Strait of Hormuz is expected to resume normal traffic within the next two months. Currently, the traffic through the strait is only 10% of its usual level. The U.S. has sent a team to Pakistan to negotiate with Iran and has prepared alternative plans. Hassett also predicted that once the strait resumes normal operations, energy prices will quickly decrease.
