Throughout the day, reporting tracked escalating attacks as Iran fired on multiple vessels and seized two ships, complicating diplomatic efforts to resume peace talks. Evening coverage focused on Iran tightening its grip on shipping in the strategic waterway, with traffic nearly halted and the Pentagon assessing that clearing mines could take six months. Late night reporting documented the firing of Navy Secretary John Phelan amid the ongoing blockade, while coverage also continued on Virginia's redistricting referendum being ruled unconstitutional by a circuit court.
