US and Israel escalated but Iran uses energy as leverageRussia
US and Israel fully imposed the conflict on IranSo what
Without a shared account of how the war began, it is hard to judge whose conditions for ending it are reasonable.
Türkiye Role○Nobody Covers
No block provides concrete details on Türkiye’s specific mediation proposals, such as who would attend talks, what ceasefire terms are on the table, or how energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz would be restored, making it hard to assess how serious Ankara’s diplomatic push really is.
US Policy Shift▸What to Watch
A clear White House decision either to accept advisers’ calls for withdrawal from the Iran war or to authorize new large‑scale strikes in the coming weeks would show whether Washington is moving toward diplomacy or deeper military engagement.
What Could Happen If...
- ▸If Türkiye, Lebanon, and other regional states manage to convene direct talks involving the United States, Israel, and Iran The parties may agree to a phased ceasefire that links a halt to strikes with a gradual lifting of Iran’s oil blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, easing regional tensions and restoring energy flows.
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 oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz until US and Israeli attacks stop, reduced exports from the Gulf would tighten global supply and push Brent Crude prices higher.
