Iranian President PEZESHKIAN said Iran cannot allow some countries to use the Strait of Hormuz freely while simultaneously using it to attack Iran.

President Trump said on Tuesday he supports banning U.S. diesel exports to help lower prices and that the government will decide "soon" "one way or another." Analysts warn the move could reduce, not raise, domestic supply and push prices higher. Gbenga Ajilore, chief economist at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said an export ban "will not increase domestic supply; it could reduce supply and drive prices up," and that ending the Iran war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz would be the primary route to lower diesel prices. Bespoke Investment Group said a ban could force Gulf Coast refineries to idle for lack of storage capacity, cutting global diesel supply and hurting refiners' margins. Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior analyst at Swiss bank Julius Baer, noted the U.S. is the world's largest diesel exporter and that export limits could sharply raise global diesel prices while prompting U.S. refiners to cut output and tighten other domestic fuel supplies.
