independent.co.uk

Iran insists the Strait of Hormuz remains closed despite a temporary transit route with Oman, threatening to launch new strikes on a nuclear site and military ships in the waterway. Iran's deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi said the agreement with Oman does not mean the strait is open, while Trump threatened new strikes on nuclear sites and military ships in the waterway. The US has sanctioned four India-based companies and three Indians over Iran's petroleum trade, while a tanker was hit and disabled off Oman's coast. China warned sanctions should not disrupt its cooperation with Iran.
