President Trump imposed a US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz on April 12, 2026, targeting Iranian ports and ships after failed peace talks in Islamabad, aiming to pressure Tehran on nuclear issues amid escalating tensions. Iran reopened the strait on April 17, removing mines and ending tolls, but Trump rejected a recent Iranian proposal to fully ease restrictions, directing aides to prepare for a prolonged standoff as the conflict nears its 20th day. Rising global oil prices and economic strain on Iran underpin trader focus on diplomatic breakthroughs or concessions, with no lifting announcement yet; key watchpoints include potential backchannel negotiations, UN mediation, or Iranian retaliation signals that could extend the blockade beyond May.
