🇺🇸🇮🇷 NOW: CENTCOM says the Strait of Hormuz remains open for commercial transit after US forces completed an 11th consecutive night of strikes against Iran.

What happened

U.S. Central Command confirmed the Strait of Hormuz stayed open for commercial ships after U.S. forces carried out their 11th night in a row of strikes against Iran.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

The strait is a key chokepoint for global oil shipments; keeping it open helps maintain oil supply and limits immediate price spikes, while the ongoing strikes signal heightened U.S.–Iran tension.

Analyst inference

Geopolitical risk in the Middle East has been pushing oil prices higher; any hint of a closure in the Hormuz corridor could further tighten markets, while the current openness steadies short‑term pricing.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Whether U.S. airstrikes continue, which would affect the risk perception of shipping through Hormuz and could pressure oil prices. Confirmed
2. Iran’s possible retaliation, such as missile or naval actions, that could threaten commercial vessels and disrupt trade flows. Proposed
3. Any official statements from regional shipping companies or insurers about route changes, indicating how the market is adjusting to the security environment. Proposed
