Deal Signing Scheduled
The peace deal is set to be signed on this day, though details remain unclear and the arrangement untested.
Tentative Peace Deal Announced
News of an agreement to end the Iran war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz breaks; oil prices drop, but experts warn of a slow restoration of crude flows.
Standstill Continues
A small motorboat passes anchored vessels, highlighting the prolonged disruption to maritime traffic.
Vessels Anchored in Strait
Cargo and commercial vessels are seen anchored in the Strait of Hormuz off Bandar Abbas, Iran, as the blockade continues.
Despite a tentative peace deal, the Strait of Hormuz reopening won't quickly restore crude flows. Hundreds of trapped ships, mine clearance, and insurance hurdles will disrupt global oil supply chains for months, raising costs for refiners and importers.
