Key Findings

On March 26, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a statement extending the deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz (SoH) by an additional 10 days; the new deadline is April 6, 2026.
Iran rejected a 15-point U.S. proposal to end the conflict and countered with five conditions. Despite these proposals, the risk of escalation remains high. The U.S. Department of War ordered thousands of additional troops to the region, likely for potential ground operations or to challenge Iran’s control of the SoH, while Iran has begun charging transit fees for passage to solidify its control.
Earlier, on March 21, 2026, President Trump threatened attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure. Iran is expected to retaliate against facilities across the Gulf, which would almost certainly worsen the global energy crisis while ensuring it feeds into other sectors (led by global food trade).
Handala Hack Team posted purported personal information about U.S. citizens, threatening to physically target U.S. employees of Lockheed Martin in Israel and their families if they did not cease their work supporting the war.
