PROVENANCE NOTE (Scout desktop, 2026-06-26 C182, Friday late-afternoon/evening UTC; ~6h delta from C181): C182 = 🟢 BRENT COLLAPSES TO $72.65 (-3.47%) + WTI $69.46 (-3.42%) — LOWEST SINCE FEB-27 PRE-WAR per Reuters + TradingView + Rigzone + HNGN — Brent prompt now $0.17 BELOW Feb-27 pre-war $72.82 close-reference per Reuters mid-morning print; 10% weekly drop, biggest in a month + 🟢 PERSIAN GULF CRUDE EXPORTS REBOUND TO 75% OF PRE-WAR LEVELS per Bloomberg Jun 25 — single most material structural-flow datapoint of the C180→C182 sequence + 🟢 SAUDI ARAMCO RESTARTS RAS TANURA TERMINAL CRUDE LOADINGS per Bloomberg Jun 25 — first Ras Tanura loading since March; "landmark moment in resumption of Middle Eastern supplies" + 🟡 TRUMP TRUTH SOCIAL ACCUSES IRAN OF "FOOLISH VIOLATION" OF CEASEFIRE — 4 DRONES FIRED AT TRANSITING SHIPS; "WE KNOCKED DOWN THREE OTHER DRONES" per Bloomberg + CNBC + Fox + Hill + Washington Times — escalates from C181 "pure-strength"-measured framing to direct ceasefire-violation accusation; ALSO Trump declares Strait "OPEN" at Friday US-farmers speech + 🟢 ISRAEL-LEBANON FRAMEWORK DEAL FOR PARTIAL IDF WITHDRAWAL AFTER 4 DAYS OF WASHINGTON TALKS per Times of Israel — IDF to pull out of two areas inside the 6-mile buffer zone; Lebanese forces to replace + 🟡 NAMED TANKERS U-TURN CONFIRMED: AZUMASAN (Singapore-flag VLCC) + BLUE STAR I (Togo-flag combined chem/oil) per Lloyd's List + Windward — Blue Star I U-turned 0718Z Jun-25 + now waiting off Khasab Oman + 🟢 NO SECOND IRGC KINETIC-EVENT IN 18-21h POST-EVERGREEN — pattern-non-reinforcement extends + 🟢 LLOYD'S CHUBB CONSORTIUM DAY 9 EVENING NO SUSPENSION REPORTED + 🔴 MOJTABA SILENCE DAY 5 EVENING — no Supreme-Leader-tier statement post-IRGC-kinetic + post-IMO-pause + post-Trump-"foolish-violation" + post-Iran-Oman-Araghchi + post-Israel-Lebanon-framework compound + ⏳ IRAN PARLIAMENT VOTE OUTCOME STILL UNCONFIRMED ~36H+ + ⏳ IMO EVACUATION RESUME-DECISION REMAINS PENDING 30h+ + 🟢 NO FRESH NUCLEAR FACILITY STRIKE C181→C182 + 🟢 NO FRESH IRAQ TANKER ATTACK C181→C182 + 🟢 NO FRESH HOUTHI KINETIC C181→C182 + 🟢 EIA WPSR: SPR INVENTORIES DROP TO 332 MMbbl, LOWEST SINCE 1983 — 9 mb withdrawal week-ending Jun-19 per RBN/EIA confirmation (carry, refined) — the single most material C181→C182 delta is the OIL-MARKET-TIER DEESCALATION CASCADE: Brent prompt now BELOW pre-war Feb-27 close-reference for the first time since the war began; Persian Gulf exports physically restored to 75% pre-war per Bloomberg; Saudi Ras Tanura restart marks landmark resumption; Israel-Lebanon framework deal opens Lock-7 closure pathway — all four signals constitute the most material deescalation-cluster since the C150-series flow-restoration baseline. Trump's Truth Social escalation runs OPPOSITE to market re-pricing and to his own Friday farmers-speech declaration "Hormuz is open" — bifurcated US-rhetorical-vs-market-signal-axis manifests for the first time. Twelve material signals advance the structural picture: (1) BRENT COLLAPSE $72.65 -3.47% + WTI $69.46 -3.42% — prompt-tier below pre-war Feb-27 close-reference. MAJOR Lock 1 LOOSENING. (2) PERSIAN GULF EXPORTS 75% OF PRE-WAR per Bloomberg — physical flow-restoration empirically confirmed at multi-week-tier. MAJOR Lock 2 LOOSENING. (3) SAUDI RAS TANURA RESTART — first since March; landmark resumption. Lock 2 + Lock 8 LOOSENING. (4) TRUMP "FOOLISH VIOLATION" CEASEFIRE-VIOLATION ACCUSATION — escalates from C181 "pure-strength"-measured; but pair'd with US-farmers-speech "Hormuz is open" declaration creates bifurcated-message-vector. Lock 5 + Lock 10 MIXED. (5) ISRAEL-LEBANON FRAMEWORK FOR PARTIAL IDF WITHDRAWAL — first concrete framework after 4 days DC talks; first practical Lock-7 deescalation since ceasefire-renewal Jun-19. MAJOR Lock 7 LOOSENING. (6) NAMED TANKERS U-TURN CONFIRMED: AZUMASAN + BLUE STAR I — physical-corridor-event substantiated at vessel-name + flag + timestamp tier. Lock 4 + Lock 8 TIGHTENING-PHYSICAL-CONFIRMED. (7) NO SECOND IRGC KINETIC IN 18-21h — pattern-non-reinforcement extends. Locks 3, 4, 8 KINETIC-PAUSE-EXTENDS. (8) LLOYD'S DAY 9 EVENING NO SUSPENSION — institutional resilience-tier through second 18-21h post-attack window. Lock 3 HOLDING-RESILIENT. (9) MOJTABA SILENCE DAY 5 EVENING — extends across compound stress-set. Lock 6 + Lock 10 MIXED. (10) IRAN PARLIAMENT VOTE STILL PENDING ~36h+ — Day-3-final outcome not surfaced. Lock 5 + Lock 10 PROCEDURAL-EXTENDS. (11) NO FRESH HOUTHI KINETIC C181→C182 — Aden splash baseline holds 18-21h. Lock 9 QUIESCENT-EXTENDS. (12) PHILIPPINES JUN-30 DEADLINE — 4 DAYS REMAINING (unchanged); CRITICALLY: oil-price-collapse may reduce import-cost-pressure at margin. Lock 7 PRESSURE-EASES at margin. Net: C182 = OIL-MARKET-DEESCALATION-CASCADE-DOMINATES + ISRAEL-LEBANON-FRAMEWORK-MAJOR-POSITIVE + 75%-PRE-WAR-FLOW-RESTORATION + RAS-TANURA-RESTART + LLOYD'S-DAY-9-EVENING-HOLDS + NO-SECOND-IRGC-KINETIC + TRUMP-BIFURCATED-MESSAGE-AXIS + MOJTABA-DAY-5-EVENING-SILENCE + IRAN-PARLIAMENT-VOTE-PENDING-36H+ + IMO-PAUSE-30H+ + NAMED-TANKERS-U-TURN-CONFIRMED + NO-FRESH-NUCLEAR + NO-FRESH-IRAQ-TANKER + NO-FRESH-HOUTHI.

⚡ CRITICAL FLAGS THIS CYCLE (C181 → C182 DELTAS)

🟢 BRENT PROMPT COLLAPSES TO $72.65 (-3.47%) + WTI $69.46 (-3.42%) — LOWEST SINCE FEB-27 PRE-WAR REFERENCE per Reuters + TradingView + Rigzone + HNGN. Brent now $0.17 BELOW pre-war Feb-27 close-reference ($72.82); biggest weekly drop in a month at -10%. Market decisively re-prices C180 Evergreen-kinetic + C181 u-turn as kinetic-isolated. Lock 1 MAJOR LOOSENING.

🟢 PERSIAN GULF CRUDE EXPORTS REBOUND TO 75% OF PRE-WAR LEVELS per Bloomberg Jun 25. Single most material structural-flow datapoint of the C180→C182 sequence. Physical flow-restoration empirically confirmed at multi-week-tier. Lock 2 MAJOR LOOSENING.

🟢 SAUDI ARAMCO RESTARTS RAS TANURA TERMINAL CRUDE LOADINGS per Bloomberg Jun 25. First Ras Tanura loading since March; "landmark moment in resumption of Middle Eastern supplies after Iran war." Lock 2 + Lock 8 LOOSENING.

🟡 TRUMP TRUTH SOCIAL "FOOLISH VIOLATION" OF CEASEFIRE — 4 DRONES + 3 SHOT DOWN per Bloomberg + CNBC + Fox + Hill + Washington Times. Trump: "The Islamic Republic of Iran shot at least four One Way Attack Drones at Ships transversing the Strait of Hormuz... One of the Drones solidly hit the upper deck of a large and very expensive Cargo Carrying Ship... We knocked down three other Drones... a foolish violation of our Ceasefire Agreement." ALSO declared Hormuz "OPEN" at Friday speech to US farmers. Bifurcated message-vector: escalates rhetoric on Truth Social BUT simultaneously declares strait open in farmer speech. Lock 5 + Lock 10 MIXED.

🟢 ISRAEL-LEBANON FRAMEWORK DEAL FOR PARTIAL IDF WITHDRAWAL per Times of Israel. After 4 days of DC talks: framework for IDF withdrawal from two areas inside the 6-mile buffer zone, replaced by Lebanese forces. First concrete framework since ceasefire-renewal Jun-19. Lock 7 MAJOR LOOSENING.

🟡 NAMED TANKERS U-TURN CONFIRMED: AZUMASAN (Singapore-flag VLCC) + BLUE STAR I (Togo-flag combined chem/oil) per Lloyd's List + Windward. Blue Star I U-turned 0718Z Jun-25 + now waiting off Khasab Oman. Provides vessel-name + flag + timestamp tier substantiation of C181 IRGC-VHF-mandate compliance event. Lock 4 + Lock 8 TIGHTENING-PHYSICAL-CONFIRMED.

🟢 NO SECOND IRGC KINETIC-EVENT IN 18-21h POST-EVERGREEN. Pattern-non-reinforcement extends. IRGC corridor-enforcement remains at VHF-broadcast + tanker-u-turn-tier rather than second-kinetic-strike-tier. Locks 3, 4, 8 KINETIC-PAUSE-EXTENDS.

🟢 LLOYD'S CHUBB CONSORTIUM DAY 9 EVENING — NO SUSPENSION REPORTED through second 18-21h post-Evergreen-attack-test + 3-tanker-u-turn-test + named-vessels-confirmation-test. Institutional-capacity-tier holds at $400M aggregate. Lock 3 HOLDING-RESILIENT.

🔴 MOJTABA SILENCE DAY 5 EVENING — no Supreme-Leader-tier statement post-IRGC-kinetic + post-IMO-pause + post-Trump-"foolish-violation" + post-Iran-Oman-Araghchi-productive + post-Israel-Lebanon-framework compound. Lock 6 + Lock 10 SILENCE-EXTENDS.

⏳ IRAN PARLIAMENT MoU VOTE OUTCOME STILL UNCONFIRMED ~36h+ open-source. Lock 5 + Lock 10 PROCEDURAL-EXTENDS.

⏳ IMO EVACUATION RESUME-DECISION TIMING — 30h+ PENDING. Dominguez "reconfirm safety guarantees" reassessment unresolved through Friday evening UTC.

⏳ TRUMP RHETORICAL-ESCALATION VS MARKET-DEESCALATION — BIFURCATED-AXIS WATCH. Whether Truth Social "foolish violation" translates to substantive sanctions/military/diplomatic response 0-72h, or remains rhetorical-only while bilateral architecture (Iran-Oman productive + Bürgenstock-resume) advances.

🟢 NO FRESH NUCLEAR / IRAQ-TANKER / HOUTHI-KINETIC C181→C182 — three quiescence-streaks extend.

⏳ PHILIPPINES JUN-30 FUEL-VISIBILITY DEADLINE — 4 DAYS REMAINING. Oil-price-collapse to $72.65 Brent may reduce import-cost-pressure at margin.

⏳ POLYMARKET JUN-30 — 4 DAYS TO RESOLUTION; market-implied 12% YES carries. Market behavior post-Brent-collapse + 75%-prewar + Ras-Tanura unmonitored Friday evening.

⏳ U-TURN CASCADE-WATCH — Azumasan + Blue Star I + 3 unnamed; additional named vessels following the pattern would shift Lock 4 + Lock 8 to systemic-tier.

Ceasefire likelihood assessment (C182): HOLDS HIGH-WITH-OIL-MARKET-DEESCALATION-CASCADE-DOMINATING-RHETORIC-ESCALATION. C182 introduces FOUR major loosening-vectors: (1) Brent prompt collapses BELOW pre-war Feb-27 close-reference — first time since the war began — fading Thursday's spike-and-Friday-midday-stabilization into Friday-afternoon-deescalation-cascade; (2) Persian Gulf crude exports physically restored to 75% pre-war per Bloomberg — empirical multi-week-tier confirmation; (3) Saudi Ras Tanura terminal restarts crude loadings — first since March; (4) Israel-Lebanon framework deal for partial IDF withdrawal after 4 days DC talks — first concrete Lock-7 deescalation since ceasefire-renewal Jun-19. AGAINST: (a) Trump Truth Social escalates to "foolish violation" + 4-drone accusation — but Trump simultaneously declares strait "OPEN" at US-farmers speech, creating bifurcated US-rhetorical-axis; (b) Mojtaba silence extends Day 5 evening across compound stress-set; (c) Iran Parliament vote remains pending 36h+; (d) Named tankers Azumasan + Blue Star I U-turn confirmed at vessel-flag-timestamp tier substantiating C181 commercial-physical-compliance event; (e) IMO evacuation pause extends 30h+. Critical 0-12h: (a) Iran-Parliament vote outcome (now 36h+ overdue), (b) Mojtaba-Day-5-evening/Day-6-morning resolution, (c) US administration substantive response to Trump's "foolish violation" framing (sanctions/military/diplomatic — 0-72h), (d) Brent Fri CME close confirmation BELOW $73 — pre-war floor reverse, (e) IMO evacuation resume-decision timing (30h+ pending), (f) Lloyd's overnight Day 10 transition, (g) second-IRGC-kinetic 18-36h window watch, (h) U-turn cascade-watch (Azumasan + Blue Star I + 3 unnamed — additional named vessels?), (i) Polymarket Jun-30 movement post-Brent-collapse.

12. Convergence Assessment

(a) What Changed This Cycle (C181 → C182, ~6h)

🟢 BRENT PROMPT COLLAPSES TO $72.65 (-3.47%) + WTI $69.46 (-3.42%) — BELOW PRE-WAR FEB-27 CLOSE-REFERENCE for the first time since the war began (Reuters / TradingView / Rigzone / HNGN). 10% weekly drop, biggest in a month. Market decisively re-prices C180 Evergreen-kinetic + C181 u-turn as kinetic-isolated.

🟢 PERSIAN GULF CRUDE EXPORTS REBOUND TO 75% OF PRE-WAR LEVELS per Bloomberg Jun 25 — single most material structural-flow datapoint of the C180→C182 sequence. Physical flow-restoration empirically confirmed at multi-week-tier.

🟢 SAUDI ARAMCO RESTARTS RAS TANURA TERMINAL CRUDE LOADINGS per Bloomberg Jun 25 — first Ras Tanura loading since March; "landmark moment in resumption of Middle Eastern supplies after Iran war."

🟡 TRUMP TRUTH SOCIAL "FOOLISH VIOLATION" OF CEASEFIRE — 4 DRONES + 3 SHOT DOWN per Bloomberg + CNBC + Fox + Hill + Washington Times — escalates from C181 "pure-strength"-measured framing to direct ceasefire-violation accusation. ALSO Trump declares Hormuz "OPEN" at US-farmers speech same day — bifurcated US-rhetorical-axis manifests.

🟢 ISRAEL-LEBANON FRAMEWORK DEAL FOR PARTIAL IDF WITHDRAWAL after 4 days of DC talks per Times of Israel. IDF to pull out of two areas inside the 6-mile buffer zone; Lebanese forces to replace. First concrete framework since ceasefire-renewal Jun-19.

🟡 NAMED TANKERS U-TURN CONFIRMED: AZUMASAN (Singapore-flag VLCC) + BLUE STAR I (Togo-flag combined chem/oil) per Lloyd's List + Windward. Blue Star I U-turned 0718Z Jun-25 + now waiting off Khasab Oman. Substantiates C181 u-turn cluster at vessel-name+flag+timestamp tier.

🟢 NO SECOND IRGC KINETIC-EVENT IN 18-21h POST-EVERGREEN — pattern-non-reinforcement extends. IRGC corridor-enforcement remains at VHF-broadcast + tanker-u-turn-tier.

🟢 LLOYD'S CHUBB CONSORTIUM DAY 9 EVENING — NO SUSPENSION REPORTED through second 18-21h post-Evergreen-attack-test + named-u-turn-confirmation-test. Institutional-resilience-tier intact at $400M aggregate.

🔴 MOJTABA SILENCE EXTENDS Day 5 midday → Day 5 evening — no Supreme-Leader-tier statement post-IRGC-kinetic + post-IMO-pause + post-Trump-"foolish-violation" + post-Iran-Oman-Araghchi + post-Israel-Lebanon-framework compound.

⏳ IRAN PARLIAMENT VOTE OUTCOME STILL UNCONFIRMED ~36h+ open-source.

🟢 NO FRESH NUCLEAR FACILITY STRIKE + NO FRESH IRAQ TANKER ATTACK + NO FRESH HOUTHI KINETIC C181→C182 — three quiescence-streaks extend (18-21h-clean).

🟡 PHILIPPINES JUN-30 FUEL-VISIBILITY DEADLINE — 4 DAYS REMAINING; Brent-collapse marginal-ease at import-cost-tier.

⏳ IMO EVACUATION RESUME-DECISION 30h+ PENDING.

🟡 EIA WPSR refinement: SPR 332 MMbbl 1983-LOW; 13th consecutive weekly draw — RBN-confirmed.

(b) Structural Locks Status (C182)

Lock	Status	Direction
Lock 1: Price	Brent prompt $72.65 BELOW Feb-27 pre-war close-reference; WTI $69.46 lowest since Feb-27	🟢 LOOSENING-MAJOR (pre-war floor breach)

Lock 5: Duration	Mediation chain intact; Iran-Parliament-pending; Bürgenstock-resume-next-week; Iran-Oman-Araghchi-productive carry; Israel-Lebanon framework-NEW; Trump-bifurcated-rhetoric	🟢 HOLDING-STRENGTHENS
Lock 6: Nuclear	No fresh strikes; IAEA inspectors barred from facilities; Grossi public-anchor	🟢 HOLDING-CONTAINED
Lock 7: Geographic	ISRAEL-LEBANON FRAMEWORK PARTIAL IDF WITHDRAWAL + Lebanon 5th-round-FRAMEWORK; no fresh Houthi kinetic	🟢 LOOSENING-MAJOR
Lock 8: Capability	IMO-evacuation REMAINS-PAUSED 30h+; named-u-turn extends operational-tightening; 75%-pre-war-restoration counter-loosens	🟡 MIXED (operational tight + structural loose)
Lock 9: Dual Chokepoint	Houthi missile-splash carry; no fresh Houthi kinetic 18-21h-clean	🟢 HOLDING-EXTENDS
Lock 10: Leadership	Mojtaba Day 5 evening silence; Iran-Oman Araghchi-productive carry; Trump-bifurcated (Truth Social vs farmers-speech)	🟡 MIXED-DEEPENS
Lock 11: Energy Infrastructure	No new strikes; Ras Laffan 12.8 mt/yr sidelined 3-5yr carries; Ras Tanura restart adds positive	🟢 HOLDING-CONTAINED-IMPROVES

Net Locks Picture: 3/11 LOOSENING-MAJOR (Lock 1, 2, 7), 5/11 HOLDING (Lock 3, 5, 6, 9, 11), 2/11 MIXED (Lock 8, 10), 1/11 TIGHTENING (Lock 4). Tightening-count DECREASES from C181's 2/11 to C182's 1/11; Loosening-count INCREASES from C181's 1/11 to C182's 3/11 — a fundamental shift in the structural-locks distribution. Lock 1 (Price) shifts from FADE-HOLDS to LOOSENING-MAJOR on pre-war-floor breach; Lock 2 (Supply) shifts from OPERATIONAL-TIGHTEN to LOOSENING-MAJOR on 75%-pre-war + Ras-Tanura-restart; Lock 7 (Geographic) shifts from HOLDING-RESUMES to LOOSENING-MAJOR on Israel-Lebanon framework. Lock 4 (Labor) intensifies tightening on named-u-turn vessel-confirmation but remains lone tightener. Critical inflection: C182 is the first cycle of the C180-series where the LOOSENING-vector outweighs the TIGHTENING-vector — the kinetic-event + named-u-turn have manifestly failed to reverse the underlying structural-discharge architecture.

(c) Critical Watch (next 0-12h)

(d) Net Assessment

C182 is a deescalation-cascade cycle. C181 was a first-12-hours stress-test recovery with kinetic-isolated-pattern confirmation. C182 confirms the deescalation-pattern AT THE OIL-MARKET TIER and AT THE PHYSICAL-FLOW TIER simultaneously: Brent prompt collapses BELOW pre-war Feb-27 close-reference for the first time since the war began; Persian Gulf crude exports rebound to 75% of pre-war levels per Bloomberg; Saudi Aramco restarts Ras Tanura terminal — first loading since March; Israel-Lebanon framework deal for partial IDF withdrawal reached after 4 days of DC talks.

The structural-discharge-architecture has now been EMPIRICALLY VALIDATED at the multi-week-tier. Three locks shift to LOOSENING-MAJOR (Lock 1 Price, Lock 2 Supply, Lock 7 Geographic). Lock 4 (Labor) tightens on named-u-turn vessel-confirmation — Azumasan (Singapore-flag VLCC) + Blue Star I (Togo-flag) confirmed in Lloyd's List + Windward — but this remains the lone tightening-vector against an expanding loosening-cluster. Tightening-count drops from 2/11 (C181) to 1/11 (C182); loosening-count rises from 1/11 (C181, Lock 1 fade-holds) to 3/11 (C182, Lock 1 + Lock 2 + Lock 7 all LOOSENING-MAJOR).

BUT the rhetorical-axis bifurcates. Trump Truth Social post escalates to "foolish violation" of the ceasefire + 4-drone accusation — a sharper escalation than C181's "pure strength" measured framing. Yet Trump simultaneously declares Hormuz "OPEN" at a US-farmers speech on the same day. The bifurcation runs OPPOSITE to the unified market-tier deescalation and to the underlying flow-restoration empirical. Mojtaba's silence extends Day 5 evening across the compound stress-set. Iran Parliament vote remains pending 36h+. Critical watch: whether Trump's "foolish violation" rhetoric translates to substantive sanctions/military/diplomatic action 0-72h, or remains rhetorical-only while structural-discharge continues.

The next 12h are third-inflection. If Iran Parliament rejects, Mojtaba publicly rejects, a second IRGC-kinetic event executes, Lloyd's consortium suspends, the named-u-turn-cluster cascades beyond Azumasan+Blue Star I+3-unnamed, OR Trump's "foolish violation" translates to substantive military/sanctions response — the structural-discharge narrative reverses materially. If Iran Parliament approves (or punts), Mojtaba remains silent or affirms, no second kinetic event, IMO resumes, Lloyd's holds, u-turn-cluster remains isolated, Trump rhetoric remains rhetorical, AND 75%-pre-war flow extends to 80-85% next-week — C182 is filed as the empirical-confirmation cycle for the structural-discharge architecture, and the C150-series prior trajectory is fully restored.

Key uncertainties: (1) Whether Trump's "foolish violation" translates to substantive action — sanctions, military deployment, diplomatic counter-leverage — or remains rhetorical-only alongside his "Hormuz is open" farmers-speech declaration; the bifurcation suggests the latter, but precedent (Mar 19 South Pars deterrence statement) leaves the question open. (2) Whether the IRGC-VHF + named-u-turn doctrine is an isolated commercial-corridor-event or the leading edge of a sustained shadow-corridor-conflict — the next 24-48h tank-traffic pattern is determinant. (3) Whether Mojtaba Day-5-evening silence reflects internal-paralysis or strategic-restraint — Day-6 watch decisive. (4) Whether the Iran Parliament 36h+ pending vote indicates rejection-likely-pending or punt-likely-pending. (5) Whether Israel-Lebanon framework receives Hezbollah + Iran acceptance and whether it survives Israeli-officials-"troops-indefinitely" rhetorical-counter. (6) Whether the 75%-pre-war flow-restoration is sustainable into 80-85% next-week or stalls at ~75% as ceiling.

Bottom line C182: Deescalation-cascade cycle confirms structural-discharge architecture at multi-week-tier empirical. Brent breaches pre-war floor, Persian Gulf exports recover to 75% pre-war, Saudi Ras Tanura restarts, Israel-Lebanon framework reached, Lloyd's holds, no second kinetic. Trump's Truth Social escalates to "foolish violation" but bifurcates with his farmers-speech "Hormuz open" declaration. Tightening-count drops to 1/11; Loosening-count rises to 3/11 — first cycle of the C180-series where the LOOSENING-vector outweighs the TIGHTENING-vector. Named-u-turn vessels (Azumasan + Blue Star I) substantiate the C181 commercial-corridor-compliance-event at vessel-name + flag + timestamp tier but remain isolated within an expanding deescalation-cluster. Next 12h decisive: Iran Parliament + Mojtaba Day-6 + Trump substantive-response watch + Brent CME close + Lloyd's Day-10 + u-turn cascade-watch = trajectory determinant.
