Hormuz Attacks Intensify as US-Iran War Talks Stall

Strikes around the Strait of Hormuz have escalated as mediated efforts to end the US-Israel war on Iran remain deadlocked. The IRGC warned tankers against ignoring the waterway's rules after a supertanker hit a mine, while CENTCOM said it disabled a Panama-flagged cargo vessel enforcing the US blockade. Crude flows through the strait have fallen roughly 40 percent below normal.
