Ships using the route are guided by CENTCOM, which advises them to switch off GPS signals and transit at night to reduce the risk of detection by Iranian forces.

Trump referred to it as a "secret mission" to help move crude through the waterway.

Shipping executives have warned that the route, which can narrow to just 800 metres and carries two-way traffic, creates a high risk of collisions, particularly for large, fully loaded tankers operating with limited visibility and maneuverability.

Although traffic has increased, it remains well below pre-conflict levels of roughly 135 ships per day. The disruption has removed around 12 million barrels of oil per day from normal market flows, though alternative measures such as ship-to-ship transfers in the Gulf of Oman have helped maintain some exports from Gulf producers.

The operation has also faced security risks, including the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter by an Iranian drone, which contributed to subsequent U.S. retaliatory strikes on Iranian targets.

There is clearly a need for an even stronger European defense. We are fully in the process of building that.

We see an increasingly aggressive Russia; we see more drone attacks in Ukraine—attacks on critical infrastructure—and disinformation also within Danish society.

Everything that is happening in Europe right now has a bad root in Russian society, or at least a lot of it.

So we are clearly moving in the direction of a strengthened European defense and more joint defense.

The unhinged U.S. president imagines that bombs can get him out of the quagmire he himself created. But Iranian missiles will sink him even deeper into it.

Washington must choose between accepting Iran’s terms and losing the last shred of its credibility in the world.

The migration turnaround has begun, both nationally and across Europe.

We are seeing a clear decline in irregular arrivals both to Germany and to Europe.

This trend will continue if the reform of the Common European Asylum System is effectively implemented in all member states of the European Union.

Iran must verifiably and permanently end its nuclear program.

Security for Israel and the entire region must be guaranteed; otherwise, there will be no peace in the region.

Today, we are helping to shape a new world order in which Europe finds its strong place, so that Europe can continue to be a force for freedom and prosperity, for peace and democracy in the world.

Araghchi condemned the attacks as a violation of the UN Charter and international law, arguing that they had effectively undermined the ceasefire and that the U.S. bears responsibility for any resulting consequences.

He also criticized what he described as the international community’s silence, warning that inaction could increase both regional and global instability.

U.S. forces disabled an oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman at 11:20 p.m. ET on June 10 after the vessel violated the blockade against Iran by attempting to transport Iranian oil, marking the third commercial ship disabled by American forces this week.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) acted against Guinea-Bissau flagged M/T Jalveer as it attempted to transport oil from Iran through the Gulf of Oman.

A U.S. aircraft fired two Hellfire missiles into the ship’s engine room after the crew repeatedly failed to comply with directions from U.S. forces.
