- Trump confirmed a US strike on Qeshm Island.
- Attacks and threats to shipping add to regional tensions.

## Summary

Iran has rejected the US response to its conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, saying it did not adequately address Tehran’s demands. Tensions rose further after President Donald Trump confirmed US strikes on an Iranian island, while Qatar continued efforts to keep negotiations on track.

Iran’s seven conditions include lifting sanctions and ending the US naval blockade; its proposal would reopen the waterway over two days if they are met. Trump described the strike on Qeshm Island as a minor attack on an anti-aircraft facility, while US media reported wider strike plans had been prepared. Shipping was also under threat: UKMTO reported projectiles hit a tanker near Oman, and Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claimed four tankers struck naval mines, though links between the incidents were unverified.
