US says it's carrying out more strikes after Iran’s attacks in Strait of Hormuz
Context
The U.S. carried out another round of strikes on Iran on Wednesday, hours after President Donald Trump said that recent Iranian attacks on ships in Strait of Hormuz signaled the end of the ceasefire. Military officials said in a social media post that the strikes were intended to "further degrade" Iran's ability “to threaten freedom of navigation” in the strait.

Another round of US strikes, while serious, does not introduce a genuinely new market channel beyond what is already reflected in current prices and prior signals.
