US-Iran clash escalates after Hormuz attacks and retaliatory strikes

Following Iran’s attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, the US launched precision strikes on Iran, claiming to hit more than 80 targets; Iran’s IRGC retaliated by saying it struck 85 US sites in Bahrain and Kuwait and shot down a US MQ-9 drone, with explosions reported around Sirik and Qeshm. The flare-up threatens a fragile ceasefire framework and ongoing talks, as NATO urged a forceful response and the US reinstated oil sanctions on Iran, signaling renewed economic pressure despite the MoU that extended the ceasefire and opened talks to end the conflict.

US strikes test fragile Iran–US ceasefire near Strait of Hormuz

Amid a fragile ceasefire, the US launched strikes around the Strait of Hormuz after Iran attacked three vessels, saying it targeted Iranian missile launch sites, air defences, and coastal surveillance; Tehran denounces the action and warns of decisive retaliation as Washington revokes a temporary oil sanctions waiver and re-imposes sanctions, a move linked to ongoing MOU talks on Iran's nuclear program that both sides interpret differently.

Congress Grills Trump Iran Deal Officials in First Unified Briefings

Democrats and Republicans pressed Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff in the first all-member briefings on President Trump’s Iran deal, seeking clarity on potential oil-sanctions relief and Iran’s prospective revenue. Officials said the memorandum of understanding is meant to kick off negotiations toward a final agreement to curb Iran’s highly enriched uranium and reduce leverage over the Strait of Hormuz, while noting talks would involve allied partners and address concerns about a reconstruction fund and financial benefits to Tehran.

Trump hints at reviving Russian oil sanctions as G7 tightens pressure on Moscow

At the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, Trump suggested the U.S. could reinstate sanctions on Russian oil as part of a broader effort by the G7 and EU to pressure Moscow, after sanctions were temporarily lifted to stabilize energy prices amid a Russia–Iran truce. Canada and EU members rolled out new measures, and negotiators are weighing a cap on Russian oil (around $44 per barrel) as part of a wider package targeting Russia’s banking, energy and trade sectors to push for negotiations with Putin.

New Iran-U.S. draft MoU aims to reopen Hormuz and lift oil sanctions

Iranian state media reported a 14‑point draft memorandum of understanding with the United States that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days and lift oil sanctions in exchange for U.S. withdrawal and reconstruction plans worth at least $300 billion; final negotiations would not begin until half of Iran’s frozen funds are released and the naval blockade is lifted. President Trump called it a “great settlement” pending final documents, markets rallied on peace hopes, Israel’s Netanyahu weighed in on related restrictions, and CNBC asked the White House for comment.

Zelensky Accuses U.S. of Aligning With Moscow, Highlights Travel Imbalance

Ukrainian President Zelensky criticized Washington for seeming closer to Moscow, noting five visits to Moscow and none to Kyiv; Kyiv Post quotes US analyst Paul Goble saying the frustration is real and dismissing Putin's Easter ceasefire as propaganda, while Zelensky's proposed energy-infrastructure halt is considered substantive. Goble also doubts the Iranian ceasefire will lead to progress and predicts US oil sanctions will be extended rather than strengthened.
