On 2026-03-12, Iranian leaders set three conditions for ending the war, including reparations and firm guarantees from the United States and Israel. Tehran has adopted a "strike for strike" response and continues to block the Strait of Hormuz while treating US courts, Israel, and allied assets as legitimate targets. US and Israeli officials say they want a clear end result rather than an open-ended conflict, but current military plans still call for days or weeks of heavy strikes until Iran is judged defeated.

Regional reporting notes that Iraq refuses to let its territory be used for attacks on Iran and that Donald Trump has hinted at a possible off-ramp by saying there is "practically nothing left" to bomb. This block portrays both Iran and its opponents as lacking a shared plan for how and when the war should end.

Decisive Victory Goal

No one can reliably estimate how long each side can keep fighting.
Hormuz Impact○Nobody Covers
No block provides concrete data on how Iran’s Strait of Hormuz blockade is affecting daily oil shipments and global prices, making it hard to measure the real economic cost of continued fighting.
Formal Offer▸What to Watch
A public, detailed ceasefire proposal from Iran or the United States in the coming weeks would show whether either side is ready to trade military gains for political concessions.
What Could Happen If...
- ▸If the United States and Israel accept talks that address Iran’s demands for reparations and guarantees Iranian leaders may agree to lift the Strait of Hormuz blockade and scale back "strike for strike" attacks, easing pressure on regional shipping and neighbors like Iraq.
Market Exposure
Different sides disagree on how this affects markets. The same instrument may move in opposite directions depending on which reading proves correct.

If Iran keeps blocking the Strait of Hormuz while matching US-Israeli strikes, less oil can move through the Gulf, which would push Brent Crude prices higher.
