Last update: 6 hours agoUS-Iran Maritime Standoff: The US says its naval blockade against Iran remains fully in effect, even as it pauses airstrikes for a second night, with CENTCOM reporting 12 commercial vessels redirected, two disabled for non-compliance, and two boarded for verification—highlighting a Comoros-flagged tanker (M/T Charminar) cleared after inspection and a Mozambique-flagged tanker (M/T Lavine) disabled in the Gulf of Oman. Diplomacy vs. escalation: Reports say Trump held off broader military expansion after concerns about depleted US air-defense stocks, while Iran says it has halted retaliatory strikes on Gulf states and US interests. UNESCO Heritage for Comoros: UNESCO added six centuries-old Comoros medinas—living towns tied to historic sultanates and Indian Ocean trade—to the World Heritage List, with officials calling it a “starting point” for preservation and new obligations.
