Exclusive: Iran has continued to mine the Strait of Hormuz during the ceasefire, European security assessments indicate, according to an ambassador who spoke to Faytuks Network under condition of anonymity.
It has gotten little attention, but today China issued an injunction against US sanctions on five teapot refineries that have been taking Iranian oil.
The blocking measure is the first since early 2021, and the first time China has responded materially to US sanctions on Chinese entities engaged in trade with Iran.
A warning that Beijing's not going to sit idly by.
U.S. forces are continuing to deploy to the Middle East for potential operations as American and Iranian teams prepare for negotiations in Pakistan this weekend.

전쟁에서 최대의 충격이 발생할 곳은 호르무즈, 카르그가 아닌 다른 곳. 현재 잠재적이지만 여기서 시작되면 시장에 가장 나쁠 것.
4차 중동전, 기름값 때문에 닉슨이 이스라엘을 주저 앉힌 뒤 74년 워터게이트에서 결정적 증거가 터지며 닉슨 사임, 주가 반토막. 이스라엘 관련설은 음모론일 뿐😉

All that happened is that Pakistan and Trump conned Iranians for a 15% drop in paper Oil and a short squeeze stock rally that buys Trump some polls relief. But it doesn't matter for underlying energy crisis as ships are still not crossing.
BREAKING: Trump has told aides he is willing to 'end the U.S. military campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed', according to Wall Street Journal report.
Additionally, U.S. President Donald J. Trump has appointed Vice President JD Vance as the principal U.S. decision-maker to lead efforts to end the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. This, amidst an uptempo in Israeli strikes and promises by Israeli decision-makers to increase strikes on Iran.
According to the Wall Street Journal, citing U.S. and Saudi officials with knowledge on the matter, several U.S. servicemembers were injured in an Iranian ballistic missile strike on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia earlier today. The Pentagon has yet to respond with a comment.
While Israeli officials assess that a deal between Iran and the United States is unlikely, they are concerned that US President Donald Trump could announce a temporary ceasefire to demonstrate his commitment to reaching an agreement.
