Morning coverage focused on the Strait of Hormuz remaining closed by Iran's Revolutionary Guards, with Iranian officials linking the closure to the U.S. naval blockade and emphasizing military readiness. Early afternoon reports detailed U.S. President Trump's ultimatum to destroy Iran's power plants and bridges if it rejects U.S. proposals, with his envoys reportedly heading to Pakistan for negotiations. Evening coverage centered on Iran's refusal to send negotiators while the naval blockade persists, calling it a ceasefire violation, followed by reports of U.S. forces firing on and seizing an Iranian cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman.
