U.S. economic coercion strategy weakened by Iran's resilience; Iran demonstrates asymmetric naval capabilities and blockade resistance, reducing U.S. negotiating leverage. Regional allies (UAE) remain vulnerable to Iranian retaliation. Ceasefire fragility suggests neither side has decisive advantage, prolonging stalemate.
Similar to 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War's Tanker War phase, where blockade attempts failed to break adversary resolve; also echoes Cuban Missile Crisis-era brinkmanship with limited coercive effectiveness.

Potential disruption to global oil supplies via Strait of Hormuz could increase energy prices for households and businesses; prolonged conflict raises geopolitical risk premium on commodities and inflation concerns.
U.S. may need to escalate sanctions beyond naval blockade or pursue diplomatic resolution given limited blockade effectiveness. International maritime insurance costs likely to rise; potential OPEC coordination on supply management; possible UN Security Council involvement.
