Conflict Timeline

Several tankers have changed course in the Red Sea following threats by Houthi forces against shipments transiting the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, while reports indicate a near-total blockade of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Iran was not serious about peace talks, Pakistan condemned the shipping disruptions, and both sides said they continued to support negotiations; oil prices rose to a near six-week high.

Iranian officials reported 53 civilian deaths and 592 injuries from recent US strikes, which the US has stated do not target civilians, and Iranian military sources said forces had been strengthened in anticipation of conflict.
