Hormuz strikes test oil routes as Iran signals openness to talks
TL;DR Summary
Two Saudi-flagged tanker ships carrying about 2 million barrels of crude were hit in quick succession near the Oman coast in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating risk in the oil transit corridor while crews remained safe. Crude prices rose in response. Iran’s president Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran would be willing to return to the June memorandum of understanding if the U.S. agrees to negotiations, but President Trump rejected resuming those terms and vowed further pressure.
