## Summary

The May 29 Hormuz X-Pulse records a live contradiction: US-aligned claims describe no-tolls unrestricted Hormuz access, mine removal, and nuclear material destruction, while Iranian/Fars-aligned claims describe Iran/Oman management, no confirmed no-fee clause, zero nuclear concessions, and compensation expectations. Markets price tentative de-escalation, but CENTCOM warnings and fresh vessel sanctions keep the failure hedge active.
