## Resource

U.S. forces intercepted the Gambian-flagged Lian Star attempting to breach Iran’s port blockade, disabling it in the Gulf of Oman—sixth ship stopped since April 17. The blockade, triggered by Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz after February 28, now hangs in the balance as a fragile ceasefire since April 7 awaits a 60-day extension that could unlock new nuclear talks. With global oil, gas, and fertilizer shipments stuck, inflation and food prices are taking a hit. The U.S. aims to cripple Iran’s economy by cutting off its trade and access to funds. Trump’s team is weighing a ceasefire deal, but Iran hasn’t finalized its stance—leaving the world on edge. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
