AFBytes briefing
Any opening of the Strait of Hormuz would directly affect global oil supply routes and therefore US gasoline prices and household energy costs.
What to watch next
- Watch for the next administration statement or Iranian official response on Hormuz access that would confirm or delay the reported deal timeline.
