The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Iran said the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen until the United States “corrects” its behavior, while Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said talks with Oman on managing the waterway were nearing a final stage. The UAE accused Iran of firing a missile at an Abu Dhabi National Oil Company tanker as it crossed the strait on Saturday, with no casualties reported. Gulf and Arab governments condemned the strike, and U.S. officials said they were working to maximize oil and gas flows through the route to ease energy prices.
