Summary
Trump says Iran will be 'hit very hard' if Hormuz Strait not open soon. Axios, citing unnamed regional officials and a US official, said the deal on the table would be a 60-day arrangement for safe passage in the strait between Iran and Oman. About 20% of all global oil traded through the Strait of Hormuz prior to the conflict, which spread after the US and Israel carried out joint strikes on several Iranian sites.
Furthermore, In the UK petrol prices are now at levels seen at the start of the conflict, with the average cost of a litre of petrol hitting £1.60, according to the RAC motoring group. Prices have surged to above $120 when the conflict has escalated and plunged in response to previous talks suggesting a breakthrough. Iran has tightened its grip on Hormuz and wants to control the strait and charge tolls - powers it did not exercise before the war began on Feb 28.
In addition, Early on Tuesday, Britain's maritime security agency UKMTO said an unnamed cargo vessel had been struck by an "unknown projectile" in the Strait of Hormuz off the coast of Oman. All traffic heading into the Gulf would take a northern shipping lane, and outbound traffic would use a southern lane through Oman’s territorial waters.
