#1 Iran is repor mulling more major cutbacks in its international oil exports in response to the SWIFT action.

IIRC SWEDEN = has formally determined that the proposed TAPI Pipeline is not only too costly but also NOT VIABLE. I may be wrong but I believe I read that China has already backed out of financing same for simil reasons???

Iran says it will indeed close the Hormuz, as pertinent.

IIUC, Iran just gave the "the Finger/Bird" to the US [again] as per the latter's warning for Iran not to cross "red lines" in the Gulf.
