President Trump has repeatedly signaled a de-escalation in military action against Iran, stating new attacks are 'quite unlikely' and the war is 'effectively over' militarily, though a sea blockade remains. This shift follows appeals from Gulf partners and has led to a significant drop in oil prices.
