Tensions remain at their highest level between Tehran and Washington. Iran has stated that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed as long as US military operations continue, a warning that could significantly disrupt global hydrocarbon trade. For his part, Donald Trump reiterated his threats of further strikes against Iranian infrastructure if Tehran does not cease its attacks. This latest escalation reinforces fears of a regional conflagration and a shock to energy markets.
