Strait of Hormuz Crisis: The U.S. and Iran traded fresh accusations and strikes after attacks on commercial ships, with Washington demanding Tehran publicly pledge the strait is open and ships won’t be targeted, while Iran insists transit must follow its rules and says the U.S. violated the MoU. Diplomacy Under Pressure: Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Oman for talks as mediators try to salvage a fragile ceasefire-to-peace path, even as Trump says the ceasefire is “over” but negotiations can continue. Escalation Warnings: Trump posted that “1,000 missiles” are “locked and loaded,” threatening to “completely decimate” Iran if he is assassinated, while Iran’s leadership vows revenge tied to the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Leadership & Revenge: Mojtaba Khamenei issued a written pledge that revenge is “the demand of the nation,” as funeral ceremonies in Mashhad concluded amid chants and banners calling for Trump’s death. Nuclear Monitoring Hit: The IAEA says it has lost continuity of knowledge across Iran’s declared nuclear sites after strikes, sharply limiting monitoring and verification. Human Cost & Markets: Iran’s health ministry put the latest U.S. strike death toll at 17 with 115 injured, while tanker traffic through Hormuz slowed again, adding pressure to global oil and regional economies. Sanctions & Finance: The U.S. imposed new sanctions on figures linked to Mojtaba Khamenei and “shadow exchange houses,” as both sides accuse each other of MoU violations.
