Iran’s Hormuz blockade will stay the market’s biggest geopolitical lever until Washington trades concessions for a reopening.

Curated summary

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until the United States meets Tehran’s demands, including compensation for war damage. The route has been effectively blocked since U.S. and Israeli attacks in late February, and Tehran is now demanding tolls for passage while striking ships it says are using a bypass route. The latest statement deepens an already fragile ceasefire and keeps one of the world’s most important energy corridors under direct pressure.
