- Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz again, shortly after reopening it.
- Reuters reported that a group of four liquefied petroleum gas carriers and several oil product and chemical tankers passed through Iranian waters south of Larak Island on Saturday.
- That marked the first substantial movement of ships in the crucial waterway since the US and Israel began their conflict with Iran seven weeks ago.
- However, Tehran's joint military command said later on Saturday that its "control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state... under strict management and control of the armed forces".
- It warned that it would continue to block transit through the strait as long as the US blockade of Iranian ports continued.
