blockade
Discussion focused on the US blockade’s tightening effect on Iran’s oil exports, currency and economy. Robin Brooks argued that the blockade is nearing maximum impact and that Iran is approaching economic implosion 256, while tanker data showed Iranian crude absent from tracked exports across the blockade line and Hormuz flows at 4.9 million barrels per day during the second blockade 3453. Others emphasised that the blockade is also imposing global energy and military costs, with constrained shipping, higher oil prices and a continuing supply deficit 32930. Diplomatic reports described Iranian proposals to reopen Hormuz within seven days if the US eases pressure and lifts the blockade, but those reports were disputed and Brooks opposed lifting it as part of negotiations 171821.
