Leading Iran's technical delegation at Bürgenstock as of June 22 after the senior Ghalibaf delegation departed; denied any new nuclear commitments were made in Switzerland
On July 7, the IRGC struck three commercial vessels within 24 hours: Qatari LNG tanker Al Rekayat (engine room fire), Saudi supertanker Wedyan, and a third ship. The attacks came after IRGC patrol boats blockaded the Oman-IMO corridor. The US struck 80-plus Iranian targets at Sirik, Bandar Abbas, and Qeshm Island, revoked Iran's oil sales license, and gave Tehran until July 17 to wind down transactions. Iran then fired at 85 US military installations in Bahrain and Kuwait, activating air defenses at both sites.
