Iran warns US of ‘heavy assault’ if ships face more attacks during ceasefire 🚨
• Shaky ceasefire: Iran warned it would launch a “heavy assault” on US assets in the Middle East if its ships face further attacks during the ceasefire. The two sides exchanged fire around the Strait of Hormuz in recent days.
• Ships attacked: Satellite imagery of one of two Iranian-flagged ships hit by a US jet fighter showed smoke still billowing from the vessel a day after the attack.
• War negotiations: US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Qatar’s prime minister in Miami. Officials previously said that they were awaiting a response from Tehran on a proposal to end the conflict.
• Energy disruption: Iranian officials are encouraging the population to consume less electricity and gas, as a US blockade has interrupted the flow of supplies.
