- Military Withdrawal: A call for the removal of U.S. forces from the region.

- Energy Crisis: Global oil prices remain roughly 50% higher than pre-war levels due to Iran’s “stranglehold” on the Strait of Hormuz.
- U.S. Warnings: The administration has cautioned shipping companies that paying Iranian “tolls” for safe passage could trigger federal sanctions.
