Hormuz standoff between Trump and Iran drives oil higher as talks stall
TL;DR Summary
Trump and Iran are locked in a high-stakes standoff over negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed due to the U.S. blockade and Iranian mines/drones, pushing global oil prices to four-year highs and lifting U.S. gasoline costs. Both sides appear confident they can outlast the other as talks stall: Washington seeks tougher Iran restrictions, while Tehran says it could consider opening the strait if negotiations resume.
