WSJ highlights how Press Secretary Leavitt did not name the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz as a core US objective of the war against Iran

This headline suggests that the US may not prioritize the complete reopening of the Strait of Hormuz in its strategic objectives against Iran, which could indicate a measured approach to escalation in the region. Given the Strait's significance for oil transport, any perceived ambiguity in US commitments might add uncertainty to energy markets, potentially supporting WTI prices if concerns about supply disruptions heighten.
