| CL1! | Active interference with commercial traffic sustains the probability and duration of disrupted crude flows through Hormuz. | Up1-5d | CENTCOM reported a large-scale redirection of commercial vessels near Iran while the waterway remained closed. |
| Z1! | Shipping disruption raises the cost of transporting and insuring refined products, supporting prompt diesel pricing. | Up1-5d | The blockade redirected commercial vessels and reports linked the negotiations to possible restrictions on Iranian and regional energy flows. |
