What happened
The US launched strikes against Iran, while Donald Trump warned Oman regarding potential toll arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, a ship fire was reported in the Strait of Hormuz, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed three tankers exploded after hitting sea mines. Despite the conflict, Qatari mediation efforts reportedly reached preliminary agreements concerning Iran’s nuclear program and navigation through the Strait, with China and Russia acting as guarantors.

Why it matters
The conflict, which began with US and Israeli attacks on Iran in late February, centers on Tehran's efforts to control the Strait of Hormuz, a critical transit point for global oil and natural gas supplies. The ongoing military escalation and threats increase geopolitical risk for international trade and energy flows.
Donald Trump warned Oman against potential short-term arrangements with Iran regarding a proposed tolling system in the strait, coinciding with Iranian actions coordinated with Omani interests.
