What Happened
Iran issued terms for controlling the Strait of Hormuz after a two-week ceasefire brokered by Pakistan. The strait, carrying 20% of global oil and LNG supplies, was blocked during US-Israel strikes on Iran. Iran's military released a navigation map directing ships northward toward Iranian coast due to alleged mines. Toll collection details remain unclear. US President Trump stated troops would remain in the region to keep the strait open. Talks begin Friday in Islamabad.
