Strategy Pushes Back on MSCI Plan to Drop MSTR From Global Indexes

President Donald Trump announced that the United States will declare the Strait of Hormuz as U.S. territory following the defeat of Iran. Tehran has rejected this plan, asserting that the strategic waterway remains Iranian. Meanwhile, Iran's Foreign Ministry reported oil spills affecting Oman, the Strait of Hormuz, and Qeshm Island, blaming a foreign bulk carrier. Separately, MicroStrategy (MSTR) issued a public rebuttal against MSCI's proposed eligibility screen that would remove the firm from global equity benchmarks.
