Summary
The U.S. is doubling down on keeping the Strait of Hormuz open for global trade, even as it conducts nightly military strikes against Iran to enforce a ceasefire agreement. Energy Secretary Chris Wright confirms that while diplomacy remains the goal, Iran’s cooperation is essential — and if it doesn’t come, the U.S. will ensure uninterrupted oil and gas flow through the strait. Despite tensions, traffic remains robust, with nearly 14 million barrels daily moving through the region — two-thirds of pre-conflict levels — thanks to bypass pipelines and relentless U.S. efforts to degrade Iran’s military capabilities. The strategy? A dual-track approach: pressure through force and persistence through diplomacy, all to safeguard global energy security.
