🧠🔎 If U.S. policy is shifting toward non-kinetic pressure rather than a strike, the key signals will be:

- Official Pentagon or White House statements on blockades $NOM

- Authorization of naval interdiction in the Gulf or Strait of Hormuz $ZKC

- UN or diplomatic notices regarding sanctions or interdiction zones $ENSO

Right now, these are strategic options being discussed — **not confirmed policy** — and Iran is responding publicly to any signs of escalation. 🚀
