Trump Issues Tuesday Deadline to Iran Over Strait of Hormuz Blockade

President Donald Trump has issued a final ultimatum to Iran, demanding the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday. The President threatened to destroy Iranian infrastructure and seize oil assets should a diplomatic resolution fail to materialize. To facilitate the high-stakes discussions, Trump has granted temporary amnesty to Iranian negotiators involved in the ongoing talks. Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency (IEA) warned of panic-hoarding in Asian markets as the 23-day naval blockade continues to disrupt global energy supplies. Markets are currently pricing in extreme binary risk, with oil prices sensitive to both potential military escalation and the possibility of a breakthrough deal. Investors are closely monitoring Brent Crude and WTI as the deadline approaches.
