Israel Palestinians Gaza

Iran will not allow military vessels to transit through the Strait of Hormuz if the agreement the Islamic Republic is negotiating with Oman is finalized. That's what Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister told state TV late on Tuesday night. The top diplomats of the two countries met to discuss managing commercial shipping traffic in the vital waterway, which remains largely shut down nearly six months after the Iran war began. Meanwhile, Israel’s strikes continued in Gaza, where a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war appears increasingly fragile.
