What happened
US forces struck a missile launcher on Iran’s Qeshm Island near the Strait of Hormuz after Iranian forces fired at a US aircraft. Despite the military action, Iranian officials stated that Tehran and Washington remain far from an agreement to end the war. Qatar continues to serve as a mediator between the two sides.
Why it matters
Diplomatic efforts in the Middle East have helped ease concerns over further escalation, which was reflected in a drop of more than 7% in oil prices. However, Gulf LNG supplies remain severely disrupted due to security threats around the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump is working to facilitate oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz following a deal intended to end the war with Iran.
