Iranian deputy foreign minister reiterates that Strait of Hormuz will remain closed and says Tehran is in no rush to reopen key oil chokepoint
Question
Iranian deputy foreign minister reiterates that Strait of Hormuz will remain closed and says Tehran is in no rush to reopen key oil chokepoint
Direct answer
Maintained closure of most Hormuz traffic keeps a structural supply risk premium embedded in crude and LNG benchmarks while supporting non-Hormuz exporters and alternative routes; it also sustains elevated war-risk insurance pricing for remaining Gulf trade.

How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BRN00 | Prolonged restrictions at the main Gulf export chokepoint constrain potential supply and justify a durable geopolitical premium in Brent. | Up1-3m | Iranian officials said the strait remains closed and Iran is in no hurry to reopen it, and Al Jazeera noted Hormuz remains largely closed to commercial traffic even after a limited Oman route was agreed. |
| NG1 | Persistent disruption of LNG shipping routes through Hormuz tightens effective supply and supports higher global gas benchmarks. | Up1-3m | Reporting highlighted that before the war about one-fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas passed through Hormuz and that the waterway remains largely closed to commercial traffic. |
| CL1 | Closed or heavily constrained Hormuz throughput reduces redundancy in global crude logistics and lifts WTI via substitution and expectations of tighter Atlantic-basin balances. | Up1-3m | Coverage of the Iran war’s impact on Gulf energy noted that the strait remains largely closed, with disruptions expected to keep supporting higher energy prices. |
