Trump–Iran deal lands in Évian: von der Leyen claims Strait reopening, oil slides, details still thin

Von der Leyen called the Strait of Hormuz open, oil slid on the headline, and the text of the supposed US–Iran deal has still not appeared. Monexus reads Évian as a political moment, not yet a diplomatic one.

Desk note: the wire treated Évian as confirmation and Cruz's intervention as a victory lap. Monexus treated it as a political moment whose diplomatic content has not yet been published, and flagged the asymmetry between European delivery language and the absence of a text, a signatory, or a verification architecture.
