How the call settles
No agreement or military outcome in which Iran relinquishes its asserted control/toll regime over the Strait of Hormuz
Our reasoning
YES on the research record because Iran did not relinquish its asserted control of the Strait: the June 17 MoU only suspended tolls for 60 days, leaving 'future administration' to Iran and Gulf states. Iran declared the waterway shut again on June 22, 2026, its IRGC continued to require Tehran-designated routes and to press transit fees the US rejects, and after the July 8 truce collapse Iran again threatened closure.. Applied stored rule: No agreement or military outcome in which Iran relinquishes its asserted control/toll regime over the Strait of Hormuz.
