According to CoinMeta, Trump announced new comprehensive sanctions against Iran, describing them as a severe economic blow to any country that helps Tehran evade sanctions. This move was taken after Iran failed to reach an agreement with the United States. Meanwhile, Axios reports that the U.S. military has secretly operated a shipping corridor in the southern channel of the Strait of Hormuz, with 15 to 20 oil tankers passing through the strait each day over the past few weeks, and the daily export volume approaching 10 million barrels. Despite the tense situation, oil prices and gold prices remain at recent highs.
