  • As President Donald Trump seeks another deal with Iran, some analysts estimate the U.S. has used more than half of its stockpiles of certain key munitions in the conflict.

  • The U.S. continues to enforce a naval blockade on Iranian ports, while fighting in and around the Strait of Hormuz has sharply reduced shipping through one of the world's busiest energy corridors.

  • Bloomberg reports that Iran is weighing a proposal to allow European countries to help clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz, though no final decision has been made.
