Claim 2: “Ceasefire will be indefinite, Trump says, as top economist puts risk of recession at 40% if Hormuz stays closed”
DISPUTED
The evidence presents conflicting reports regarding the status of the Strait of Hormuz and the ceasefire. One cross-reference mentions Trump stating the ceasefire will be indefinite and an economist's assessment. However, the web search results show conflicting reports: one suggests the Strait reopened after a 10-day ceasefire, another notes Trump said the US may allow the ceasefire to expire, and a third reports both Trump and Iran's minister stated the Strait is fully open, while Wikipedia entries describe past crises and campaigns, not a current consensus matching the claim's premise.
