Iran says Strait of Hormuz will stay closed until U.S. meets their conditions
Tehran said its latest proposal could reopen the waterway within seven days, but accused Washington of focusing on the nuclear issue while Iran wants talks centered on Hormuz
A crude oil tanker was struck by an unknown projectile near Oman's coast, with all crew members reported safe. The incident, which occurred about 4 nautical miles east of Oman, comes as commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains significantly below pre-conflict levels, with vessel traffic currently around 75% lower than usual.
The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) has warned that vessels should transit with caution, as the threat level in the region remains elevated. Additionally, five Indian nationals aboard the Kuwait-flagged tanker MT Kazimah III were rescued after the vessel was struck by a projectile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
