Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) pushed back against report that the Donald Trump administration failed to plan for Iran potentially shutting the vital global shipping route.\nIn a post on X, Cramer questioned whether U.S. planners had focused on the right priorities in the region.\n\"Still surprising people that we arguably had no plan for the most important piece of real estate in this war: The Strait of Hormuz? We sunk ships but not the right ones,\" Cramer wrote.\nThe Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important energy corridors, carrying roughly 20% of global oil shipments.\nDisruptions there can ripple through energy markets and global trade.\nPreviously, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) also accused Trump of failing to foresee the Strait of Hormuz crisis.\nIran announced the closure of the waterway more than a week ago amid escalating tensions with the U.S. and Israel.\nCotton dismissed a CNN report stating U.S. officials were unprepared for such a move.\n\"As chairman of the Intelligence Committee, let me make clear: whoever leaked this lied,\" Cotton wrote on X. \"CNN should do some fact-checking. The U.S. has planned for Iran to try to close the strait for decades.\"\nThe report cited sources who said officials underestimated Iran's willingness to block the waterway following U.S. strikes, potentially complicating global energy flows and shipping operations.\nMeanwhile, Trump has warned Iran that any further interference with shipping could prompt stronger U.S. action.\nTrump said U.S. forces recently carried out a major bombing raid targeting military sites near Kharg Island, Iran's primary oil export hub, but stopped short of destroying its energy infrastructure.\nThe president also indicated that the U.S. could deploy naval escorts for tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz if necessary and warned that Iran would face severe consequences if it continued disrupting maritime traffic in the region.\nOil prices briefly climbed above $100 this week for the first time since 2022, before dropping during the week.\nOn Friday evening, energy markets were mixed, with WTI crude April 2026 futures rising 3.74% to $99.31 per barrel, RBOB gasoline gaining 3.40% to $3.07 per gallon, and ULSD heating oil climbing 2.34% to $3.99 per gallon, while natural gas fell 3.12% to $3.13 per MMBtu (Million British Thermal Units).\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nImage via Shutterstock\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2619477871","isCrawlerRequest":true}
