- Strait of Hormuz traffic dwindled after Middle East attacks intensified, framing the broader story across the Reuters, CBS News, and Guardian headlines.
- Oman-Iran talks on the Strait of Hormuz were postponed by Gulf states as the Yemen conflict intensified, with CBS News reporting oil prices holding above $100 per barrel.
Why it matters: The collapse of Hormuz talks removes the only scheduled diplomatic buffer for an escalating Middle East conflict. With traffic through the strait already dwindling and oil holding above $100, energy markets and shipping face rising pressure with no off-ramp in sight.
