Strait of Hormuz

CENTCOM says the strategic waterway remains open despite Iranian threats, as the conflict expands far beyond the Gulf

After a sweeping American assault on 140 targets in Iran, alerts were activated in Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claimed they destroyed a command-and-control center at Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, "Iran made a bad choice, and now it is paying for it."

CENTCOM confirms new military strikes on Iranian targets near Bandar Abbas after President Donald Trump warned of further action, while Israel holds high level security consultations amid fears of a broader regional conflict

Speaking at the NATO summit, President Donald Trump said the U.S. may strike Iran again, while Iranian officials warned of severe retaliation, raising fears of a broader regional conflict and the collapse of diplomatic negotiations

Renewed tensions between Iran and the United States pushed oil prices higher, weighed on Israeli markets, and strengthened the U.S. dollar against the shekel.

Iran claims it honored the Hormuz ceasefire agreement, while the U.S. warns of consequences for Iran's interference in shipping.

The United States has reportedly revoked Iran's oil export license following attacks on commercial tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, while negotiations continue.

The US launched 80 strikes in Iran; Iran retaliated by attacking US military bases in Bahrain and Kuwait.

Reports say Iranian missiles struck two commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, damaging the ships and raising concerns about renewed regional escalation.

President Donald Trump weighed in on the ongoing negotiations with Iran, again stressing: “I want the enriched uranium in our hands.” He also said the U.S. had secured the continued flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.

The U.S. reportedly offered Iran a swap: give up its demand to control traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and stop charging ships to pass, and in return receive billions of dollars from frozen Iranian funds. According to The Wall Street Journal, Iran has so far rejected the offer.

Beginning tomorrow, Iran will launch a week of funeral events for Ali Khamenei. He is set to be buried next week in Mashhad. So far, there is no confirmation that his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, will take part in the ceremonies. At the same time, Iran is escalating its threats against Israel and the U.S.

Mohammad Akbarzadeh, a senior naval figure in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, was among the architects of efforts to close the Strait of Hormuz. He was killed in a car crash in the south of the country. In a separate incident, two Revolutionary Guards members were killed by sniper fire in northwestern Iran.

President Donald Trump said Iran requested an official meeting in Doha as soon as tomorrow. In Tehran, officials pushed back: "The technical meetings of the working groups are not scheduled for this week."

President Donald Trump said there is no urgent need to reach Iran’s nuclear materials because they are buried deep underground. At the same time, he warned that negotiations would stop if it turns out Tehran is collecting payments from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump says nuclear negotiations with Iran will collapse if Tehran charges fees in the Strait of Hormuz.

The Iranian delegation said it is not prepared to continue the talks in Switzerland, after U.S. President Donald Trump said in an interview back home: "Iran must immediately stop its proxy in Lebanon from stirring up trouble. If they do not, we will hit Iran very hard."

After 18 hours of talks, Iran, Qatar, and Pakistan established a mechanism to ensure vessel safety through the Strait of Hormuz.

President Donald Trump threatened Iran over reports it could close the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said his country will not stop enriching uranium. Trump responded: "He should keep his mouth shut." On Lebanon, Trump added: "Israel can’t move Hezbollah."

An Iranian member of parliament said on live state television that Khamenei opposed contacts with the United States and that his conditions were left out of the memorandum of understanding. Minutes after he began revealing classified documents, the program was abruptly taken off the air.
