尽管美伊停火可能延长、伊斯兰堡会谈或将恢复，但海峡仍关闭，市场虽受扰动但未出现更严重恐慌，文中指出“深度霍尔木兹诱发的全球衰退”仍有可能被避免。文章把封锁描述为特朗普在轰炸未迫使德黑兰让步后、通过经济手段施压的核心策略：其目标是扼住每日高达约200万桶的伊朗石油外运，理论上要以贸易与供应限制换取政治妥协。 这类举措通常需几个月到数年才可能见效，因此短期内无法单靠封锁达成即时从属结果。与此同时，美伊在核问题和海上航道上都试图保留谈判空间，形成了“可回退—不公开爆发全面升级—再试压低对手”的动态博弈。 若谈判能继续，第一阶段是重开霍尔木兹通道，第二阶段才是核议题，但双方均担忧一旦互信脆弱就会陷入“先让步后反悔”的循环，导致任何协议都容易受阻。
美国方面不能接受伊朗对过境船征收通行费，因为这将给予其对区域航运的长期控制杠杆。文章提出的可行核方案包括把高浓缩铀降为适于民用用途、在一定期限内暂停新增浓缩，或改由财团化方式管理浓缩，同时释放部分被冻结资产，但都需与持续核查绑定。
即便达成协议，美伊都难以宣布“全面胜利”：德黑兰会保留在中东的威慑影响，美军也已确认对伊朗作战的高代价。文章强调，过去近两年的2015核谈判历程已表明，细节复杂度极高，真正难题在于可验证执行，而非原则本身；而重建海湾安全与经济秩序仍是一个中长期工程。
Despite a ceasefire likely to be extended and talks in Islamabad possibly resuming, the Gulf remains in limbo with the Strait of Hormuz still closed, and the oil market, though unsettled, has not become more panicked than before. The article frames the U.S. blockade as a pressure strategy after bombardment failed, targeting up to about 2 million barrels per day of Iranian exports and trying to trade economic constriction for concessions.
The blocing measure is highly uncertain by nature; it often takes months, sometimes years, to move behavior. The path to a deal is effectively two-stage—first reopening the strait, then a nuclear settlement—but deep distrust means neither side wants to make irreversible moves for fear the other will default later.
Key figures anchor the stakes: around 400 kg of highly enriched uranium and Iran’s potential enrichment capacity versus U.S. demands for stock removal and a ban on further enrichment. Compromises are technically feasible (dilution, temporary suspension, consortium-based enrichment, and partial asset unfreezing), yet even a partially agreed framework would need international monitoring and hard limits on centrifuges and theoretical work; otherwise Iran can prolong talks and both sides risk a no-win outcome despite avoiding wider war.
