Diplomacy With Oman: Iran says it has reached an understanding with Oman on a transit route and is working toward a joint statement, even as Washington insists on reopening the strait before lifting pressure. Escalation Threats: Iranian officials reject surrender demands and say they will shift from defensive to “fully offensive” posture if diplomacy fails, while Tehran warns shipping firms that supporting US military needs could bring legal and counter-sanctioned consequences. Regional Fallout: Reports say unidentified attackers targeted Iranian militia members in Syria’s Deir Ez-Zour area, prompting reinforcements and a search.
