U.S. Central Command announced on May 4 the commencement of a "Freedom of Navigation" mission in the Strait of Hormuz, deploying 15,000 personnel. According to NS3.AI, the operation includes a missile destroyer, over 100 land- and sea-based aircraft, and multi-domain unmanned platforms to support merchant vessels navigating the strait.

The ongoing US-Iran conflict has led lenders in the United States to quietly raise internal cutoffs and add underwriting overlays, despite no changes in consumer credit data, according to BeInCrypto. The disruption of the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil supply route, has driven Brent crude prices above $120 per barrel, pushing US inflation to 3.2% in March 2026. This has resulted in a 10-year Treasury yield increase to 4.48% and a rise in fixed 30-year mortgage rates for five consecutive weeks. The lending squeeze is most pronounced for borrowers with FICO scores between 640 and 720, affecting first-time homebuyers and middle-income individuals. Markets now anticipate no Federal Reserve rate cuts for 2026, as geopolitical risks continue to influence lending practices.

Ebrahim Azizi has stated that any U.S. intervention in the Strait of Hormuz would breach the existing ceasefire agreement. According to NS3.AI, Azizi emphasized that such actions would effectively establish a new maritime order.
