Qatari LNG Tanker Transits Hormuz As U.S. Awaits Iran's Response To Peace Deal
The Trump administration continues to await a formal response from Tehran on a U.S. proposal aimed at ending the war and reopening the Hormuz chokepoint, following last week's clashes between Iranian and U.S. naval forces in the world's most critical waterway.
While there were no official signs of a breakthrough in negotiations as of early Saturday morning, new ship data from the Hormuz area may suggest that positive developments are ahead.
Bloomberg reporter Stephen Stapczynski wrote on X that an LNG tanker from Qatar is "attempting" to transit the Hormuz.
"If successful, this would be the first time Qatar has exported LNG out of the region since the Iran war began in late-Feb," Stapczynski noted, adding, "The tanker says it is destined for Pakistan."

Simply hanging on could be a disaster for Iranians, while Trump needs to resolve this economic crisis he created Exchanges of fire between Iran and the US demonstrate the serious instability of the situation in the Middle East.

US Awaits Iranian Response After Hormuz Clashes Strain Ceasefire (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
The US was waiting on Iran's response to its latest proposal to end the war after suggesting word could come imminently, following clashes in the Strait of Hormuz that strained a month-long ceasefire. Bloomberg News Deputy UAE Bureau Chief Abeer Abu Omar and White House Correspondent Jeff Mason join David Gura and Christina Ruffini on Bloomberg This Weekend to discuss.
Iran has still given no indication whether it will accept President Donald Trump's plan, sent on Wednesday, which proposes that the Islamic Republic reopen the waterway and the US end a blockade on Iranian ports over the next month.
Tehran's response is “under review,” Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei told the semi-official Tasnim news agency, without giving a timeline.
Trump told reporters at the White House late Friday he was still expecting a response “tonight.” Asked if Iran was intentionally slow-rolling the process, he said “we'll find out soon enough.” (Source: Bloomberg)...

Intel Leak: Russia Mulled Giving Iran Un-Jammable Drones To Fight US Forces
Russia offered Iran thousands of advanced drones built to bypass electronic jamming systems, along with training for attacks on US troops in the Middle East, according to a confidential intelligence document obtained and reviewed by The Economist.
Already the two countries have deepened their defense ties in the context of the years-long Ukraine war, with Tehran providing tens of thousands of Shahed suicide drones, but this fresh allegation points to potential increasing Russian involvement against the United States in the Persian Gulf region.

Moscow has been previously accused of supplying the Iranians with targeting intelligence related to Operation Epic Fury, and some analysts have said this could explain how Iranian ballistic missiles and drones were able in many cases to score precision hits on US radar and military outposts in the region, as far away as Jor...
