Last update: 8 hours agoUS-Iran Strikes & Hormuz Shipping: The US carried out its ninth straight night of strikes on Iran, saying targets included command centers, air defenses and maritime capabilities tied to attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran warned the waterway is “non-negotiable” and said it has stopped implementing commitments after the ceasefire collapsed. Gulf Air Alerts: Bahrain reported drones targeting its air navigation systems while Kuwait said it intercepted hostile drones; both countries urged residents to stay alert as sirens sounded. Maritime Disruption: Ship traffic through Hormuz stayed subdued/near standstill, with reports of tankers exploding and being immobilised, and UKMTO noting a vessel fire near Oman after an unknown projectile. Diplomacy Still in Play: Iran’s foreign ministry said it received proposals from mediators and that diplomatic channels remain active, while the US said it remains open to talks if Hormuz security improves. Energy Costs Ripple: Brent pushed above $90 and US pump prices crossed $4 again, reflecting renewed freight and insurance worries for the region’s oil flow.
