Five months into a war that has reshaped the Middle East, Iran has turned geography into diplomacy, conditioning the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz — a passage carrying a fifth of the world's oil — on American compensation for wartime destruction. Washington, long anchored to nuclear non-proliferation as its singular objective, now finds that goal sitting alongside an equally urgent imperative: keeping global commerce alive. The language of reparations has entered the room, and with it, the first faint grammar of settlement.

Iran shifts from military confrontation to economic coercion, weaponizing critical chokepoint (30% of global maritime oil trade). U.S. faces dual pressure: preventing Iranian nuclear advancement while maintaining economic leverage. Regional allies (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Israel) face energy security threats. China and India's energy dependence increases Iranian bargaining power.
Similar to 1973 OPEC oil embargo during Yom Kippur War, where energy leverage became primary geopolitical weapon; also echoes 2019 Strait tensions when Iran threatened closure following U.S. sanctions.

U.S. likely to increase military presence in Persian Gulf, pursue diplomatic negotiations, consider sanctions escalation, and coordinate with allies on energy security. Potential emergency oil reserve releases and alternative energy acceleration discussions.
