A review of current effective and usable developments regarding the US and Iran: (arranged by timeline) 1. Early in the morning, Iran's Revolutionary Guard advisor directly put Iran's intention to prolong Trump's term openly, essentially slapping Trump in the face. This is a relatively tough negotiation approach, exposing their trump card. The US side responded by emphasizing military threat + negotiation, clearly aiming to avoid a prolonged war. 2. Trump posted on social media, "The United States has complete control over the Strait of Hormuz, and I think we will keep it." #霍尔木兹通航谈判未果, U.S. and Iran escalated pressure. Iran's agency responsible for managing the strait (PGSA) responded—"Hormuz is still under blockade and will not be reopened until Iran's terms are accepted." The diplomatic debate over the Strait of Hormuz remains central to the two sides, emphasizing who holds control of the strait. 3. U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright recently stated that nearly 9 million barrels per day of crude oil have flowed out of the Strait of Hormuz over the past seven days, with another 5 to 7 million barrels per day leaving the Gulf via pipelines and alternative export facilities, so the current total export volume to the Middle East is about 15 million barrels per day. However, this news does not match current mainstream statistics. Kpler estimates that from August 3, only about 1.74 million barrels per day were shipped through the Nikkei Strait, and even the best week since the conflict was about 6.98 million barrels per day, far from the U.S. Secretary of Energy's figure.
