The diplomatic signals come amid continuing regional risks, including threats involving the Strait of Hormuz and disruption to energy infrastructure. Saudi Arabia has restarted operations on its East-West Pipeline and could resume exports from Yanbu, while the wider conflict is affecting shipping and oil markets. President Donald Trump is also expected to address the UN General Assembly, making the U.S.-Iran confrontation and prospects for de-escalation the central international focus of the day.
