A tentative US-Iran framework deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and extend a ceasefire has caused Brent crude oil prices to fall below $83 and sparked global market rallies. While the agreement signals de-escalation, experts warn that full normalization of oil and gas supplies could take months due to mine clearance and high insurance costs. The deal benefits the US politically by easing immediate tensions, but Iran gains leverage by demonstrating control over Hormuz as an economic tool. Israel faces strategic constraints as US and Israeli priorities diverge, China benefits from cheaper energy imports, and Gulf states are urged to boost resilience against future disruptions. The ceasefire marks a shift in regional dynamics, with Hormuz becoming a proven instrument of coercion rather than just a vulnerability.
