Key Findings

Iran’s president apologized to neighboring Gulf countries and approved the suspension of attacks against them, unless an attack on Iran comes from those countries, a move likely aimed to increase ceasefire pressure on the U.S. through energy price shocks and other economic disruptions.
Public statements from U.S. President Donald Trump and military movements indicate the U.S. military campaign is likely escalating in the short term; and although Iran is signaling openness to certain concessions to end the conflict, the U.S. is insisting on Iran’s unconditional surrender, terms which Iran currently rejects.
Iran claimed an attack on another oil tanker while the U.S. announced details of its insurance policy to restart traffic in the Strait of Hormuz (SoH). The U.S. policy will likely not deter Iranian aggression in the Strait as long as Iran maintains the ability to impact energy shipping, a key element of Iran’s strategy to end the conflict on terms it finds acceptable.
