Geopolitics & WarEnergy Markets & Prices
The US commander in the Middle East said American forces cleared Iranian mines from shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz. The claim comes amid allied doubts about similar statements previously attributed to President Donald Trump, keeping regional security risk elevated. Any reduction in immediate disruption risk is likely to be outweighed near-term by uncertainty, which can pressure oil-sensitive assets and shipping-linked exposure.
