## Resource

U.S. forces intercepted and boarded an East African tanker in the Arabian Sea, verifying its compliance before letting it pass — part of a broader naval blockade targeting Iranian ports. This follows the disabling of a Mozambican tanker in the Gulf of Oman that repeatedly tried to evade the blockade. Dozens of vessels have been redirected, and two others boarded for enforcement. The heightened naval activity comes after a pause in U.S. airstrikes against Iran for a second straight day, amid Iran’s reported similar pause — following nearly two weeks of escalating tensions sparked by Iranian attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The Pentagon remains silent on why airstrikes halted, but no new strikes have occurred in over a week. Diplomatic efforts to revive ceasefire talks continue as the situation remains volatile and unpredictable. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
