- Central Command disabled the Panama-flagged Ocean Molica, also known as the Arika Sun, in the Gulf of Oman on Saturday after the vessel attempted to run the ongoing naval blockade against Iran.

- Shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz fell to the lowest level in more than two months, a vital waterway that previously carried 20 per cent of global oil consumption.
