Weekly reality-stream update for the week of 2026-07-20 → 2026-07-27. Applied via
21csim apply-reality-updates(dry-run then real; all values validated, none clamped). No new nodes this week.The week in brief
The 2026 Strait of Hormuz crisis widened before it turned. For most of the week the shock deepened — supply disruption spread from Hormuz to the Red Sea (a second major chokepoint for Saudi crude now contested), oil ran up ~40% on the month with Brent near $96–100, and US bombing of Iran ran to nearly two weeks of intensifying strikes. Then, at the very end of the window, the first genuine de-escalation: the US paused strikes for two straight days (Jul 25–26), Iran reciprocated, and interim-ceasefire talks resumed via Oman/Pakistan/China mediation (Brent fell ~4% Friday to ~$97 on the news, still ~+10% on the week). The naval blockade nonetheless still held (ships redirected/disabled/boarded Saturday). On the eastern front, Ukraine escalated its long-range drone campaign to record scale.
