A fragile two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran is under strain, with Washington accusing Tehran of breaching promises on the Strait of Hormuz and Israel conducting attacks in Lebanon that Iran claims violate the truce.

As of April 9, 2026, the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, with Iran demanding a toll of $1 per barrel of oil transported through the strait, paid in cryptocurrency, causing significant disruption to global oil trade.

IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva warned that there is 'no painless exit' from the energy shock caused by the ongoing Iran war, emphasizing that the supply disruption of oil, gas, and other essential commodities from the Persian Gulf remains severe and could be prolonged due to potential new Iranian tolls.
