The day was dominated by the Strait of Hormuz toll dispute and a reported IRGC attack on a cargo ship. In the morning, US Secretary of State Rubio arrived in Bahrain, warning that tolls could disrupt global waterways, while IRGC declared Oman's new sea lane 'unacceptable and unsafe.' By midday, Oman's foreign minister confirmed no transit fees would be imposed, and Rubio stated Gulf Arab states opposed any tolls. Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi stressed coordination with Oman for 60-day traffic management. In the afternoon, an unknown projectile struck a cargo ship off Oman; US officials and Iran International attributed it to the IRGC. The UN shipping agency temporarily halted evacuation plans from the strait. Meanwhile, Qalibaf denied US claims that freed assets must buy American products, and Netanyahu ordered freedom of action in Lebanon.
