ANALYSIS
Singapore covered the seizures with the anxiety of a city-state whose economy rests on global maritime trade. The Straits Times reported that Iran was 'tightening its grip on the Strait of Hormuz' after Trump backed off from strikes but maintained the naval blockade. Qalibaf was quoted declaring: 'You did not achieve your goals through military aggression and you will not achieve them by bullying either. The only way is recognizing the Iranian people's rights.' The Straits Times noted Brent topped $100 for the first time in two weeks. The article emphasized that Trump had 'backed away from recent threats to bomb critical Iranian infrastructure' without talks making any progress. Singapore's framing highlights the deadlock: both sides are hardening, nobody is truly negotiating, and the strait remains shut. For Singapore, every day Hormuz stays closed is a day of disruption to the global shipping lanes on which the port of Singapore serves as Asia's pivot. Channel News Asia added the economic context: US stock markets are hitting records while oil crosses $100, a coexistence that cannot last if the crisis drags on.

- Trump a renonce aux frappes mais maintient le blocus, sans avancee diplomatique
