伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队声称在霍尔木兹海峡击中两艘在美军护送下通过的油轮，致使其停航，同时有四艘油轮改道撤离该地区[1]。此次袭击发生在周五[1]，时值美伊重新交战仅两周后[1]。这一事件引发国际油价攀升，原油价格已突破每桶90美元[1]。
与此同时，特朗普在马里兰州营地召集内阁成员开会，讨论这场旷日持久的伊朗战争及其对能源价格的推高影响[1]。在国内政治层面，美国参议院以49-50票的微弱多数否决了一项象征性投票，该投票原本旨在表达对伊朗战争的反对[1]。民调数据显示，仅三分之一的美国人支持该战争，这是战争开始以来最低的支持率[1]。能源价格上升同时为石油企业带来可观利润，其中埃克森美孚利润翻倍，雪佛龙利润增长超过五倍[1]。
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed to have struck two oil tankers under US military escort transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, rendering them inoperable, while four additional vessels diverted away from the area [1]. The attack marked an escalation occurring two weeks into renewed US-Iran hostilities [1].
The incident coincided with elevated tensions in Washington, where President Trump assembled his cabinet at a Maryland retreat to discuss the prolonged conflict with Iran and its impact on energy prices [1]. Crude oil prices surged above $90 per barrel in the wake of the strike [1]. In Congress, the Senate narrowly rejected a symbolic vote against the Iran war by a margin of 49–50 [1]. Public support for the military campaign had declined to one-third of Americans surveyed, marking the lowest approval since hostilities commenced [1]. Major energy companies have benefited financially from the conflict, with ExxonMobil's profits doubling and Chevron's profits increasing more than fivefold [1].
