US-Iran Escalation: The US says it is conducting its 10th straight night of strikes on Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, after another American service member was killed and Iran hit US allies Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain. Diplomatic Glimmer: Iran’s interior minister has traveled to Pakistan, a key mediator, as the last interim deal collapses and shipping through Hormuz stays largely stalled. Oman in the Mix: Iran says it is coordinating with Oman on Strait of Hormuz security measures, while separate reports note incidents near Oman’s coast and tanker disruptions tied to the wider crisis. Red Sea Shock Risk: Yemen’s Houthis announce a maritime blockade/embargo against Saudi Arabia, warning of wider disruption beyond Hormuz; the UN urges de-escalation as the threat to freedom of navigation grows. Energy Pressure: Oil and fuel prices jump again as markets price in chokepoint risk, with Brent above $88 and US gasoline back around $4 a gallon. Oman Economy Angle: Oman Air’s CEO says the airline is still aiming for profitability despite the war’s disruption, citing route recovery and new GCC/India plans. Regional Security: Kuwait’s Defense minister received Oman’s ambassador as the envoy’s mission ends, underscoring ongoing Oman-Gulf diplomatic engagement amid heightened tensions.
