US-Iran hostilities centred on the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman remain active. The US says it disabled a St. Kitts-flagged cargo ship; the IRGC claims three tankers exploded and caught fire, unconfirmed independently, and a tanker fire near Khasab with crew evacuated is reported via UKMTO-based sources. Trump reportedly told CNN renewed strikes are unlikely if Iran advances a nuclear deal and reopens the Strait, while US forces stay ready; Iran's FM urged a response to its proposal and warned of a strong response if war is chosen. Iraq says the US asked it to close most border crossings with Iran.
