Context
The vague language of the US-Iran MoU made the present escalation in the Strait of Hormuz all but inevitable.
What it means
This article is an analytical retrospective on the ambiguous language of the US-Iran MoU rather than a new development or escalation in the Strait of Hormuz situation. It adds interpretive context to an ongoing story but introduces no new facts, actions, or actors that would move markets beyond what is already reflected in the 42-day-old open situation.
