U.S. Hormuz Blockade Day Two, Oil Falls

U.S. military blockade of Iranian ports continued into second day, with over 10,000 personnel, dozens of warships and aircraft enforcing it.
No vessels passed the blockade in first 24 hours; six merchant ships complied with U.S. orders to turn around.
Brent crude fell 4.3% to $95.15 per barrel and WTI dropped 7.2% to $91.94 amid de‑escalation optimism.
Diplomatic talks in Pakistan and statements by President Trump and Vice President Vance suggest possible cease‑fire progress, though Iran calls blockade piracy.
