STRAIT OF HORMUZ BLOCKADE HAS NOW REDIRECTED 100 COMMERCIAL SHIPS AS RUBIO RESTATES TRUMP'S HARD TERMS IN NEW DELHI

The US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has now redirected 100 commercial ships — vessels either entering or leaving Iranian ports — in what officials describe as a significant operational milestone.

Iranian state media offered a competing account, claiming 35 ships transited the Strait in the past 24 hours "in coordination with Iran's naval forces," framing the passage as a sign of continued Iranian authority over the waterway.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in New Delhi ahead of Quad foreign ministers talks, publicly restated the conditions for any deal: Iran must not obtain a nuclear weapon, must reopen the Strait of Hormuz without charging transit tolls, and must hand over its enriched uranium stockpile. President Trump said the US would only sign an agreement with Iran "if we get everything we want," per CBS News.

A conditional ceasefire declared April 8 remains technically in place, though Israel has continued to strike Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. Four paramedics were killed Friday in an Israeli airstrike on an ambulance centre in Hanawieh, southern Lebanon.
