At one of the world's most consequential maritime crossings, Iran's chief negotiator has issued a measured but unmistakable warning: what the world has seen so far in the Strait of Hormuz dispute is prologue, not chapter. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf's signal that Tehran has 'not even started' places this standoff within the older, slower logic of strategic patience — a reminder that nations with deep grievances and geographic leverage rarely exhaust their options early. The outcome will hinge not on who is loudest, but on who first concludes that compromise costs less than continuation.

Potential increase in oil prices due to Hormuz shipping disruption risks, leading to higher fuel costs, increased transportation expenses, and inflationary pressure on consumer goods. Households face elevated energy bills and broader cost-of-living impacts.
Governments may increase military presence in the region, negotiate diplomatic solutions, implement strategic petroleum reserve releases to stabilize oil prices, strengthen shipping insurance frameworks, and coordinate international responses to maritime security threats.
