🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡️ — NEW: The Strait of Hormuz will “never return to its pre-war condition,” the head of Iran’s merchant marine union tells Al Jazeera.

➡️ Saman Rezaei says the war has “shattered the previous order” of the strait, and a new structure with a greater role for coastal states must emerge.

➡️ Full recovery depends on sustainable peace, reduced threats, and several cycles of incident-free transit — a process the ITF estimates could take “weeks, if not months.”

➡️ Significant port and trade infrastructure on both sides of the Gulf has been damaged, requiring substantial funding and time to rebuild.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🇺🇸⚡️ — WATCH: A video from the scene of the crash of the B-52 shows that the bomber crashed almost immediately after takeoff - its wreckage is smoldering near the airbase.

At the moment, nothing is known about the fate of the crew, but in such a scenario, their ejection is unlikely.

🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡️ — Full details of the US-Iran MoU remain undisclosed, though officials on both sides have offered partial indications of what is included, Al Jazeera reports.

Iran’s National Security Council says the deal ends fighting on all fronts including Lebanon and lifts the US naval blockade on Iranian ports.

Both sides confirm follow-up talks on Iran’s nuclear program and sanctions relief will take place during a 60-day period after the MoU is signed in Switzerland on Friday.

Trump says the Strait of Hormuz will be “open to all” on Friday; VP Vance says no tolls will be charged during the 60-day period.

A senior Iranian official tells Reuters the US agreed to release $25 billion in frozen Iranian assets and waive oil sanctions for a specified period — Vance flatly denied this, saying “there hasn’t been a single dollar of sanctions relief or unfrozen assets” from Washington or its allies.

Vance describes the MoU as a “general document” of around “a page and a half,” adding that the text could be released publicly soon.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
