BREAKING: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran has proposed to the US a new deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz
The US outlet citing a US official and two sources, says Iran has proposed a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war, while delaying nuclear talks for later stage.
But ending the blockade and war would take away Trump’s leverage to force Iran to give up its enriched uranium and stop nuclear activities
According to three US officials, Trump is expected to hold a Situation Room meeting on Iran on Monday with his top national security and foreign policy team.
House Financial Services Chair French Hill says many remaining issues around stablecoin sales practices and DeFi were already resolved in the House version.
“I think the Senate’s relayed quite a bit on the House work on both FIT21 … and CLARITY in this Congress."
$CL The effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz in April 2026 has triggered a catastrophic global supply shock, removing nearly 16 million barrels per day (mbpd) of crude oil and refined products from the market. Experts warn this has reached a "critical inflection point" where massive demand destruction—a permanent or significant temporary drop in consumption—is necessary to balance the market.
Status of Global Oil Demand (April 2026)
Unprecedented Slump: Worldwide oil demand is projected to slump more this month than at any point in the last five years.
Scale of Destruction: Analysts estimate current demand destruction at approximately 5 mbpd, or roughly 5% of world supply.
Price-Driven Recalibration: With physical crude trading near $150/bbl and refined products in Singapore clearing $290/bbl, consumers and industries are being forced to curtail spending.
Refinery Cuts: Global refinery run cuts of 2.3–3 mbpd have been reported as crude supplies tighten, shifting stress to the supply of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
Regional Impacts of Demand Destruction
Asia (The First Wave): As the primary destination for 80-84% of Hormuz transit, Asia is experiencing the harshest immediate adjustments.
Pakistan: Implementing fuel rationing.
Thailand: Reporting widespread shortages.
India: Facing "dual shocks" to oil and LNG, as 60% of its oil and over 80% of its LPG supplies transit the strait.
Europe (The Next Wave): While initially buffered by stocks, Europe is now facing near-term diesel shortages and industrial surcharges of up to 30%.
Transport & Aviation: High jet fuel prices (over $200/bbl) have led to cancelled flights and a near-total cessation of operations for major Gulf hubs like Emirates and Qatar Airways. $ZBT $OIK
