Iran's Revolutionary Guard warned that vessels “violating” its designated routes would be pursued and "punished" anywhere in the region, as maritime agencies reported two further strikes on commercial ships in the Persian Gulf. #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #MaritimeSecurity
Two commercial vessels were hit within 24 hours — one off Qatar, the first attack in that area in six months, and one off Fujairah in the Gulf of Oman — as IRGC-affiliated outlets suggested Tehran had extended operations beyond the crucial strait. #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #MaritimeSecurity
Casualties have been reported on the vessel, identified by a maritime intelligence firm as the oil and chemical tanker, Acers. #MaritimeSecurity #IranWar #StraitOfHormuz
They were the bully of the Middle East. They're not so much the bully anymore, but we have to finish up. And it's only a question of which way do we want to do it, the nice way or the not-so-nice way. And pretty soon you'll find out. They say he is giving approval, because that's the way it has been for a long, long time. #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #USIranRelations
Iran's army spokesman said Tehran's forces were prepared to strike first "should circumstances require it," while IRGC officials claimed tighter control of Hormuz, and Washington publicly pondered how much authority Pezeshkian and Araghchi actually wielded. #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #USIranRelations

Iran's military insisted it retained full control of Hormuz and the foreign minister said the strait could reopen within seven days if Tehran's conditions were met, after US Treasury Secretary Bessent said Iran had not loaded a single barrel of crude onto tankers in September. #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #OilExports
The author said Iran had struck a tanker at the SoH and announced that securing the Strait was now its top priority. They predicted crude prices would probably fall when trading opened. #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #CrudeOil #IR
The author said few people were asking why the IRGC was attacking ships, given claims that the number of vessels transiting the Strait was far lower than advertised. They described the counterargument as relying on blurry images comparable to Bigfoot sightings. #StraitOfHormuz #IRGC #MaritimeSecurity #IRGC #STRAIT
Iran clearly not satisfied with the Strait of Hormuz so it's coming for petrol on British soil too. Absolute disgrace. #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #BritishOil #IR #GB
The war has choked shipping through Hormuz and disrupted Gulf exports. Qatar said it has continued to mediate between Washington and Tehran, warning that the fallout has now affected multiple sectors and not just energy. #IranWar #GlobalEconomy #StraitOfHormuz
Months into the war with Iran, Gulf exporters are finding ways to keep oil and gas moving, but crossing Hormuz remains risky and some customers are still missing contracted cargoes. #OilExports #LNG #StraitOfHormuz
The foreign minister says Tehran is waiting for an official rejection of a deal, despite the US President's comments. #USIranRelations #StraitOfHormuz #DiplomaticNegotiation
Iran's Revolutionary Guards claim that the vehicle is a REMUS 600 and has been handed over to Iranian military experts "to retrieve its data". #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #USMilitary
The US president earlier said that Tehran only made the proposal to open the strait within seven days because "they're losing so badly". #StraitOfHormuz #IranUSRelations #TrumpAdministration
If the necessary conditions are met, we can reopen the strait, and normal maritime traffic can resume within seven days. The actions that the US needs to take are not new; we previously outlined all of them in the memorandum of understanding. If the American side is serious about reaching an agreement and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, everything is now ready on our side. On the seventh day, we will begin negotiations with the US to reach a final agreement on issues agreed upon by both sides. It would be better if we reached an agreement with Washington before the US midterm elections. #StraitOfHormuz #Iran #TrumpAdministration
I expect to resume a bombing campaign against Iran after the US midterm elections in November. #StraitOfHormuz #Iran #TrumpAdministration
I think this is a clever move. I believe they know this proposal is very tempting for President Trump because it ends an unpopular war and lowers energy prices on the eve of the midterm elections. At the same time, I think it revives an agreement that is largely to Iran's benefit, and the condensed timeline to reach the nuclear issue should also be attractive to a president who is in a hurry. #StraitOfHormuz #Iran #TrumpAdministration
"If the necessary conditions are met, the strait can be reopened, and normal maritime traffic can resume within seven days," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Friday. #StraitOfHormuz #Iran #TrumpAdministration
I can tell you if there is seriousness in the US side to come to a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, everything is now prepared. #StraitOfHormuz #IranUSRelations #EnergySecurity
