Executive Summary
is pursuing a dual strategy of military pressure and diplomacy to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with a proposal to Iran that prioritizes maritime access over a comprehensive nuclear deal.
The conflict has severe economic repercussions, driving U.S.
gas prices above $4.50/gallon, pushing consumer sentiment to an all-time low, and triggering a pullback in discretionary spending.
High energy prices and low public approval are creating significant political pressure on the Trump administration ahead of the midterm elections, increasing the urgency for a diplomatic resolution.
China, as the buyer of 90% of Iran's oil, is a critical player, likely to use its influence over Iran as leverage to gain concessions from the U.S.
in upcoming talks.
