  • King Fahd Port in Yanbu (Saudi Arabi) 
  • Hamad Port (Qatar)
  • Mina Salman Port (Bahrain)
  • Shuaiba Port (Kuwait)
  • Camp Arifjan (Kuwait)

U.S. CONCERN AT SHIPPING ROUTES

Although the US claims the strait remains open, traffic has dropped from the usual 130–140 vessels to only eight vessels in a 24-hour period

The US has initiated its own blockade in the Sea of Oman against vessels violating sanctions against Iran

IRANIAN OFFICIAL WARN OF MILITARY ESCALATION 

Iranian MP Ahmad Bakhshayesh Ardestani warned that if the US attempts a ground invasion or tries to occupy Kharg Island, Iran will launch ground attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain

He stated that US soldiers would be "cannon fodder" in such a scenario. Qatar and Pakistan are attempting to mediate. Kuwait has also reached out to Pakistan to help stop the attacks.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is traveling to the US for the first time since the start of this conflict.

The conflict is characterized as an asymmetric war where Iran continues to retaliate despite significant damage, while the US appears increasingly frustrated by Iran's refusal to come to the negotiating table

 The Middle East Power is shifting, as the war continues to function many significant developments have taken place.  SAUDI - UAE's DENIAL When Operation Freedom started, U.A.E and Saudi clearly refused America for using their bases and airspace for Operation Freedom.   Iran had initially warned for military escalation to neighboring countries, specifically to U.A.E & Saudi, if they allow U.S. to uses their bases.  The way Iran has hit in last 39-40 days, the occupancy of hotels in Dubai which used to be 100% has come down to 10%. In the second hit, the space got closed several times. Leaving no choice for them except unaccommodating with America. This surges Iran's power and the limits of coalition support.  OPERATION FREEDOM PAUSED? The U.S. blockade in the Sea of Oman does not seem to be effective, whereas Iran is continuously expanding its reach beyond the Street of Hormuz.  A living example of this is that on Monday, it fired a missile at Fuj...

As the Middle East Conflict moves, enters a new strategic move- 14 point proposal.  14 POINT PROPOSAL Iran has presented a 14-point peace proposal to Donald Trump via Pakistan. The proposal is a response with amendments in the American 9-point formula, aimed to end the war in the next 30 days rather than extending the ceasefire.  As per Syed Abbas Araghchi , Iran's proposal demands withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Iran's surroundings, lifting the naval blockade with a new Hormuz mechanism, lifting sanctions, releasing Iran's frozen assets, and paying compensation. After the previous proposal Iran decided to first negotiate the blockade and conditions of the Hormuz, & remain the nuclear deal for the next two months.

TRUMP's CONFUSING MESSAGES In an interview,  Donald Trump ( U.S. President) stated Good news about a  possible fresh round of talks between the U.S. and Iran  as soon as Friday. Although, as per Tasnim, Iran currently has "no plans" to negotiate with the U.S. on Friday.  The messaging is shifting by hours, from "guns ready" to "ceasefire extensions", the signals lack consistency. IRAN'S RESPONSE At present, Iran has backed up from any kind of negotiation Ismail Bhagel  (Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson) proclaimed that Iran has no decision on joining Islamabad talks due to "confusing messages" by U.S. &  deemed it as flawed behavior of a country, serious about diplomacy. He also listed Washington's various ceasefire violations.  Additionally,  Ghalibaf ( Iran's parliamentary speaker) declared, the complete ceasefire will be considered valid only when sea blockade are terminated & action of holding the world economy ...
