- "Iran’s judiciary chief, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejehi, said on X that the country’s armed forces were demonstrating strength in the Strait of Hormuz, citing what he described as a Revolutionary Guard “mosquito fleet” of speedboats and underwater drones, along with action against three ships in the waterway."

Such displays could lead to market volatility, particularly in energy prices, as any escalation or increased military presence can threaten shipping routes and impact oil supply perceptions, likely supporting upward pressure on WTI and related commodities.
