IRGC strikes Marshall Islands tanker in Hormuz
Iran fires missiles and drones at Kuwait
China seeks Hormuz oil LNG passage

The time is now 11:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Regional Impacts, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it struck a Marshall Islands-flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian state media reported. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations issued a warning after a report of an incident about 10 nautical miles north of Jubail, Saudi Arabia, advising vessels to transit with caution and report suspicious activity. The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical route for Gulf oil shipments, and the wider confrontation among the United States, Israel, and Iran has stalled oil transit through the chokepoint. China is in talks with Iran to allow crude oil and Qatari LNG vessels to pass safely through Hormuz, Reuters reported. Kuwait's state oil company said it has implemented precautionary reductions in crude production and refining throughput as part of its risk management and business continuity strategy, prompted by ongoing attacks by Iran and concerns about safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz. The Kuwaiti defense ministry later stated that Iran had fired 14 ballistic missiles and 23 drones toward Kuwait over the past 48 hours. Separately, a report notes that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with the ruler of the United Arab Emirates to accelerate outbound flights from Dubai.
