Last update: 4 hours agoUS-Iran Talks & Hormuz Risk: JD Vance and Iranian negotiators met in Switzerland to turn an interim MoU into a longer settlement, but Iran said it reimposed a Strait of Hormuz blockade as Lebanon fighting continues—while the US Central Command countered that 55 merchant ships still transited and “safe passage” remained intact. Energy Markets: Analysts warned that even a partial disruption to the Hormuz corridor (a key crude and LNG route) can quickly jolt prices, especially after depleted buffers from prior shocks. Policy Pressure: Trump reiterated a 60-day toll-free window for Hormuz, threatening US-imposed fees if a final deal fails, as critics debate whether sanctions relief could give Tehran room to rebuild. US Energy Transition: A separate report argues solar PV has become the structural driver of the global energy transition, with the US leaning on storage growth to keep up. Infrastructure & Oil: In North Dakota, federal approval cleared a Dakota Access pipeline segment over the Missouri River, ending part of a long regulatory fight but not all litigation.
