Hormuz Pressure, Again: Iran has started letting some Chinese ships pass through the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian management rules, after Trump’s Beijing talks with Xi—yet Iran’s FM Abbas Araghchi says the U.S. can’t be trusted and enriched-uranium talks are deadlocked, while Trump says he’s “losing patience” and rejected an Iranian proposal as “unacceptable,” keeping the ceasefire fragile. Gulf Security Escalation: The U.S. is stepping up blockade enforcement with MH-60R Seahawk helicopter operations from USS Truxtun, and CENTCOM says ships trying to break the blockade were redirected. New Flashpoint: Reuters/WSJ reporting claims Saudi Arabia and the UAE carried out unannounced strikes inside Iran—first known direct attacks by the two Gulf monarchies. Spy Case: The FBI posted a $200,000 reward for Monica Witt, a former Air Force intelligence specialist accused of spying for Iran. Markets Hit: Oil rose and gold fell as Strait uncertainty and U.S.-Iran impasse keep inflation fears simmering. Diplomacy Under Strain: UAE and Iran trade barbs at BRICS, with the UAE calling for negotiations and rejecting Iranian allegations.
