Donald Trump has once again warned that the US will return to “strong military action” against Iran if diplomatic efforts do not bring a rapid resolution to the crisis in the Middle East. “We are in very deep talks with Iran. If they don’t work out, we will go back to very strong military action,” the US president told Axios on Monday. Asked for how long he would allow the talks to proceed, he answered: “Not much time. Either it goes fast or not at all.” Earlier, Tehran said there were no direct talks with the US to end the conflict, which began in late February with a wave of US-Israeli strikes and has rocked the region and the global economy. “Mediators may convey messages from the American side to us regarding current developments in the region. But at present we are not engaged in any negotiations with the United States,” said the Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei.

Photograph: Alex Brandon/AP The diplomatic back and forth came as Oman and Iran drew closer to an agreement in principle on the future management of the strait of Hormuz, but remained unable to resolve Tehran’s demand that all ships passing through the strategic waterway must pay some type of transit fee or toll to a consortium led by the two countries. Oman and Iran met for technical talks in Tehran on Friday and Saturday that may hold the key to preventing a further round of fighting. Perceived progress in the talks – backed by China, Qatar and Pakistan – was understood to have fed into the US decision to pause its attacks on Iran after nearly two weeks. Senior US officials are also reported to have warned Trump over dwindling US munitions stockpiles and the impact of Iranian reprisals on US bases in the region, including Kuwait, and Jordan. The top US military commander in the Middle East, Adm Brad Cooper, reportedly recommended stopping the bombing campaign around the strait because it had reached the limit of its effectiveness. The US attacks have been described by Washington as a response to repeated Iranian breaches of the memorandum of understanding signed in June, including by trying to prevent commercial shipping from transiting the strait through a southern route overseen by the US. Iran argues the southern route breaks the ceasefire agreement, which it insists left the country in sole charge of how the strait was reopened. A diplomat said: “The aim of the Tehran talks is to marry the Iran and Oman proposals so what emerges is clearly compliant with the law of the sea, and internationally acceptable.” At a Tehran press conference, Baqaei denied that the pause in US fighting amounted to an informal ceasefire. Oman has been trying since May to persuade Tehran that any plan for charging fees in the strait must be voluntary, to comply with the law of the sea. It has proposed a model similar to that which governs the strait of Malacca: countries that use it voluntarily contribute to a fund that provides for environmental and safety services to shipping. Oman argues that a similar entity could be set up in the strait of Hormuz with the agreement of the UN and the International Maritime Organization. The IMO secretary general, Arsenio Dominguez, has told the Guardian that the Malacca strait model is worth considering for the strait of Hormuz.

Photograph: Cristóbal Herrera/EPA Iran’s department of environment has drafted its own plan, under which “the annual passage of over 50,000 ships and oil tankers through the strait of Hormuz and their role in polluting the Persian Gulf” must be compensated for. Under the plan, Iran would be able to collect “fees” from passing vessels proportional to the type of ship, cargo volume, navigation history and history of pollution. The comparison between the straits of Malacca and Hormuz is imperfect since fewer ships see ports in the Malacca strait as a destination point. But the Iranian media appear increasingly drawn to the Malacca model. The Khabaronline news agency argued such an agreement would be “a win-win situation for Iran”. Baqaei described the talks with Oman as useful and constructive but said they had nothing to do with the US. “The goal is for Iran and Oman, as two coastal states, to develop mechanisms to ensure safe shipping in the strait of Hormuz, while respecting the sovereign rights of the two coastal states and also preserving Iran’s security and national interests,” he said. Oman is in a tight spot since it knows the US is opposed to the introduction of tolls, but it may accept a very clearly delineated system of fees for specific services. The talks come as the US continues to encourage commercial shipping to test the strength of the Iranian blockade of the strait. Iranian officials reported that six vessels with their navigation systems switched off attempted to pass through the southern route of the strait on Sunday. One of them was fired upon and the others were turned back to the Persian Gulf. The US has reimposed a blockade of Iranian oil exports and ended a sanctions waiver on its oil exports. The United Nations Office for Project Services said on Monday that transits through the strait of Hormuz had fallen to an average of approximately five ships a day over the past week, compared with nearly 130 a day before the war.

And without those "shock absorbers" in place, the world's markets are exposed to future shocks, according to the IMF (1). And the signs are looking bleak: The crawling pace of negotiations to end the war have largely stalled out, and the U.S. and Iran have traded military strikes in recent days over control of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for oil and natural gas shipments. The tit-for-tat attacks also triggered a spike in crude prices, following a months-long slide that brought prices near to pre-war trading levels. On July 22, President Donald Trump said the US will "destroy one bridge or power plant" every time Iran targets a ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz (4) — a sign that tensions could boil over again. Already, oil traders are bracing for another potential supply shock as the three-month ceasefire with Iran has virtually collapsed in the past week. President Donald Trump reimposed a blockade on Iran for the first time in mid-July, and the conflict threatens to restart all over again. "As tensions flare again in the Strait of Hormuz, that room is now smaller and shrinking further as spare capacity has been deployed, demand has compressed, and inventories have been drawn down," the IMF said in the blog post. "Unless inventories are replenished, the world will start from a weaker position when the next shock comes." Then, at the end of the month, prices stabilized again following the U.S. announcing a pause in hostilities (3). This underscores the uncertainty surrounding the price of crude, and the fragility of peace in the region. And the cracks are starting to show: Brent crude, a global benchmark, topped $100 per barrel in mid-July (2). The tax breaks in Trump's 'big beautiful bill' expire after 2028 — and experts say most people won't act in time.

Oil markets won't be able to absorb another blow to supplies if conflict with Iran resumes in the near future, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Moneywise and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue through links in the content below. Story Continues One of the notable shock absorbers identified by the IMF was existing inventories (1). From March through May, however, the IMF estimates there was an average deficit of 4 million barrels per day, leading nations like the U.S. to dip into their reserves. For its part, China has accumulated the largest strategic oil stocks in the world, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) (5). It drew down those reserves and simultaneously paused most of its crude purchases (6), freeing up limited supplies for European and Asian nations. Another shock absorber was the U.S. stepping up oil production, along with Venezuela, Guyana and Russia. The elevated production from countries outside the Persian Gulf was meant to be a critical factor that put a lid on crude price increases, in addition to China slowing down its crude buying. However, U.S. reserves don't seem to be bouncing back (7). Where oil trading goes from here Stashed in four underground salt domes along the Gulf Coast (4), the U.S. has its own emergency oil stockpiles. But those supplies are rapidly dwindling — and they were already just over half-full at 415 million barrels on February 27, a day before the start of the conflict, per the EIA (8). As of July 17, the nation's strategic oil reserves consisted of only 311 million barrels, the lowest level since 1983. If all-out war resumes between the U.S. and Iran, the U.S. will continue exhausting its domestic shock absorber. Gas prices are also climbing again. The national average for a gallon of gas reached $4.11 on July 25, up from $3.99 a week ago, according to AAA Fuel Prices (9). The Strait of Hormuz was once the main commercial artery that handled 20 million barrels of crude and refined products per day in shipping. That flow of energy products remains largely halted, with one million barrels on average traveling through the strait in May, per the IMF (1). Protect your finances against inflation When inflation heats up, nearly every dollar stretches a little less. And prices at the gas pump eventually ripple through the broader economy, pushing up the cost of groceries, shipping, travel and countless everyday essentials. As geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalate, oil has climbed more than 20% so far in July (10), raising concerns that households could soon feel another wave of price increases. For example, BlackRock expects the conflict to lift global inflation by roughly 0.8 percentage points (11). Additionally, traders are placing 68% odds that the Federal Reserve could respond with another rate hike as soon as September (12) — a sign that inflation might remain elevated in the near future. However, your own financial outlook doesn't have to look so bleak. While you can't control inflation, you can take steps to make your finances more resilient, even as higher prices spread through the economy. Audit your recurring bills As inflation chips away at your purchasing power, one of the smartest ways to fight back might not be earning more — it might be finding ways to spend less. While skipping your morning latte may save a few dollars, the biggest opportunities are often hiding in your recurring monthly expenses. Insurance, for example, is one of the easiest places to look. The average U.S. driver now pays $1,163 for six months of auto insurance coverage as of July 2026 (13). If you have a clean driving record and have stuck with the same insurer for years, comparing quotes through services like Insurify could help lower one of your largest recurring bills. Here's how it works: Just answer a few basic questions, and Insurify will show you the most affordable deals in as little as three minutes. Not only is the process 100% free, but you could also save up to 15% by bundling your car and home insurance. Invest in an inflation-proof asset As inflation eats away at the purchasing power of cash, many investors look for assets that have historically held their value during periods of rising prices. Gold has long been viewed as one of those safe haven investments. The precious yellow metal has historically served as a store of value during periods of inflation, economic uncertainty and market volatility. In fact, gold prices have more than doubled over the past five years (14), hitting multiple record highs along the way. One way to invest in gold that also provides significant tax advantages is to open a gold IRA with the help of Priority Gold. Gold IRAs allow investors to hold physical gold or gold-related assets within a retirement account, which combines the tax advantages of an IRA with the protective benefits of investing in gold, making it an attractive option for those looking to potentially hedge their retirement funds against economic uncertainty.

Just keep in mind that gold is usually used best when it's one part of a well-diversified portfolio. Set up a source of passive income One of the most effective ways to stay ahead of inflation is to create income that grows alongside rising prices. Real estate has traditionally been one of the most reliable ways to generate passive income because rents often rise alongside inflation. That means your investment income has the potential to keep pace with rises in everyday expenses. Still, becoming a landlord isn't for everyone. Mortgage payments, maintenance, repairs and tenant issues can quickly turn investing into a part-time job, or more. If you'd rather skip those responsibilities, you can tap into this market by investing in shares of vacation homes or rental properties through Arrived. Backed by world-class investors, including Jeff Bezos, Arrived allows you to invest in shares of vacation and rental properties, earning a passive income stream without the extra work that comes with being a landlord of your own rental property. To get started, simply browse through their selection of vetted properties, each picked for their potential appreciation and income generation. Once you choose a property, you can start investing with as little as $100. The best part? For a limited time, when you open an account and add $1,000 or more, Arrived will credit your account with a 1% match. Talk to an expert Finally, it's worth remembering that inflation doesn't just strain your budget — it can also make long-term financial decisions much more complicated. Even financially disciplined households can be left wondering whether they're making the right moves. According to PNC Bank, 67% of Americans say they live paycheck to paycheck, highlighting how challenging today's economic environment has become (15). If higher prices are making it harder to save, invest or prepare for retirement, it may be worth getting a second opinion.
