What happened
Escalation risk is high due to military strikes and failed talks regarding the Strait of Hormuz. On September 25, leaders in Tehran stated that the country could reopen the strategic waterway within seven days if the United States eased military pressure and lifted the blockade of Iranian ports. However, shipping remained severely disrupted, with only two commodity vessels crossing the strait on one day compared to an average of 125 large commercial ships daily.
