Summary
Tensions escalate in the Strait of Hormuz as a British-flagged tanker is seized by Iran, while an Indian cargo ship sinks after an attack near Oman. Iran claims legal rights to seize U.S.-linked oil tankers, amidst tense talks between the U.S. and China over the Iran war. Chinese ships pass through Hormuz under new Iranian green lights, and a Hezbollah drone explodes in Israel, injuring three civilians. The UN urges both sides to stick to the ceasefire as casualties mount, with the regions chokepoint remaining a powder keg for world trade.
