Tehran, Iran Local 14:32 · Mon · working now Tehran's Monday hardens both the kinetic and diplomatic tracks: the IRGC claims it destroyed an MQ-1 over Hormuz with a new air-defense battery even as Foreign Minister Araqchi insists any Oman understanding is not enough to reopen the strait until Washington meets Tehran's demands. IRNA's confirmation that Salalah was scrubbed at regional request, and Sunday's Qeshm ship strike that killed one, leave the maps-only corridor brief without an audience while major traders still keep tankers clear of the waterway.

Muscat, Oman Local 15:02 · Mon · working now Muscat's Monday is the scrub itself: Oman's foreign minister pushed the Salalah Hormuz gathering off the calendar "in the interests of consensus," leaving Iran's maps-only shipping brief without a Gulf audience on the day it was meant to land.
