blockade
Anas Alhajji argued that Iranian factions with economic and institutional power resisted negotiations, attacked shipping, and helped derail the MOU, prompting President Trump to restore the blockade 1. He said the Strait of Hormuz then closed without military action because insurers withdrew war coverage, while oil prices rose $12–$15 but did not reach $100–$120 because markets had already anticipated prolonged disruption 1. Erik Townsend framed the situation as an unintended failure of a plan to close and then quickly reopen the strait, asking what happens if IRGC factions remain uncooperative 1.
