Iran says it awaits a U.S. response to its proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz
Question
Iran says it awaits a U.S. response to its proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz
Direct answer
A credible reopening proposal creates two-sided crude risk: progress could release a large risk premium, while delay preserves disruption concerns. The Iranian rial remains under pressure as the blockade and restricted oil flows squeeze foreign-currency earnings.
