Iran and Oman finalize a joint shipping route map for the Strait of Hormuz, a potential step toward de-escalation, but the US is not party to the deal and Iran continues to enforce its blockade. US Strategic Petroleum Reserve falls below 300 million barrels, the lowest since 1983, raising concerns about cavern damage and limiting future emergency response, while oil prices remain elevated. Iranian officials, including a top lawmaker, issue personal threats against Trump and reaffirm Iran's control over the strait, escalating rhetoric but not changing the military stalemate.
