What happened
Donald Trump facilitated a deal between the United States and Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz and mineral sourcing outside of China. The agreement included provisions for free passage through the Strait of Hormuz and granted Tehran access to at least $300 billion in financing. Despite the reopening, Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority introduced new requirements, mandating that vessels obtain permits and insurance and submit transit requests 48 hours in advance.

Why it matters
The agreement was reached partly to prevent a global economic depression by stabilizing global oil supply. The restoration of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz allows major global routes to function again, which is a critical waterway for energy trade.
