Context
The Pentagon insists the Strait of Hormuz is open, but the threat to shipping is increasing, along with oil prices.

This headline is a continuation of an ongoing 48-day situation that delfee has already covered extensively. The prior chain already captured the key moves — Brent and WTI crude up, gold up, airlines down. The Pentagon's reassurance that the strait remains open, alongside the acknowledgment of rising threat levels, adds no genuinely new information beyond what is already reflected in current prices and prior signals.
