Question
Iran says the US-Iran memorandum has expired as Washington weighs renewed economic pressure

Brent crude, DXY, USD/IRR, tanker rates and regional shipping risk are the main market channels; tighter US pressure would support crude risk premium, weaken Iranian export optionality and keep freight and insurance elevated.
