Jul 16 forecast

A formal US announcement ending the Iranian blockade by August 15 is highly unlikely because Washington was still enforcing it with strikes and vessel interdictions on July 16.

Points to NO

Active blockade reinstatement and enforcement strikes through July 16 show no reversal intent.
Evidence
Escalation planning and Situation Room meetings indicate pressure is increasing, not easing.
Evidence

Points to YES

Historical market cases show blockade announcements can occur suddenly via presidential social media or official statements.
