美国财政部长贝森特表示，美伊两国有可能在未来数小时内就重新开放霍尔木兹海峡达成协议[1]。这一表态与特朗普总统的立场相一致，特朗普同时向伊朗发出警告，称这是其最后一次机会[1]。受此消息影响，国际油价因市场对这条重要水道恢复通航的预期而大幅下跌[1]。
自2月28日美国与以色列对伊朗发动突袭以来，尽管数月期间曾达成停火及初步协议，但外交努力始终未能终结冲突[1]。8月4日，一艘商船在霍尔木兹海峡遭弹体击中，一名船员失踪[1]。
U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent stated that the United States and Iran could potentially reach an agreement on reopening the Strait of Hormuz within the coming hours.[1] President Trump's warning to Iran accompanied this development, characterizing the current moment as their final opportunity.[1] The market responded to these diplomatic signals with a sharp decline in international oil prices, reflecting investor expectations that this critical shipping corridor could soon resume normal operations.[1]
The negotiation effort comes against a backdrop of protracted tensions in the region. Since February 28, when the United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran, diplomatic attempts have repeatedly fallen short of ending the conflict, despite periods of ceasefire and preliminary agreements reached over the intervening months.[1] On August 4, a commercial vessel sustained damage from a projectile strike in the Strait of Hormuz, with one crew member reported missing.[1]
