The Iran War + The Straight Of Hormuz Report

๐Ÿ–ฅ Saturday | July 25/2026

โžก๏ธ Shipping in the Strait of Hormuz has sharply declined: no movement has been recorded in the Gulf of Oman, and vessels with AIS systems enabled are only observed in the Iranian security corridor.

โžก๏ธ However, transit voyages are still continuing, as evidenced by data from the UK Maritime Trade Organization (UKMTO) and statements from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) regarding attacks on four ships in the past 24 hours.

๐ŸšซOne tanker named Kavomaleas was directly hit and caught fire.

๐ŸšซCurrently, control over the waters of the Gulf of Oman is being contested between the IRGC and the US Navy, with no obvious successes for the US in this area.

๐ŸšซAccording to Bloomberg, shipowners are offering tanker crews payments equivalent to six months' salary for a single round trip through the Strait of Hormuz.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท โ€” Statement from the Iranian Foreign Ministry:
We strongly condemn the attack by the Ukrainian regime on an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea on Saturday morning, which caused an explosion, the martyrdom of a sailor, and the injury of another.

โ€‹This action constitutes a violation of Article 2, Paragraph 4 of the UN Charter and is an act of aggression that risks escalating the war.

โ€‹The attack, explicitly acknowledged by the head of the Ukrainian regime, demonstrates an irrational and hostile stance toward the Islamic Republic of Iran.

โ€‹Iran has never interfered in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and we urge the UN Security Council, European countries, and UN member states to recognize Ukraine's violation of international law.

โ€‹Any party concerned with peace and security in Eastern Europe and surrounding regions must take a responsible stance and hold the Ukrainian ruling body accountable for this criminal act.

โ€‹Iran will not hesitate to act in accordance with fundamental principles of international law, specifically legitimate self-defense, to protect its national interests and security, holding Ukraine and its supporters fully responsible for the consequences.

The Iran War + The Straight Of Hormuz Report

๐Ÿ–ฅ Saturday | July 25/2026

โžก๏ธ Tests of the Yemeni missile program with live fire against the Saudi Jizan oil refinery were not as effective as previously thought.

๐ŸšซOnly part of the refinery and the adjacent oil base are burning.

๐ŸšซThe rest is either undamaged or already extinguished.

โžก๏ธ At sea, however, after this strike, an interesting event was recorded: the Saudis began to transfer oil and oil products to tankers registered in other countries to quietly transport the cargo through the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

โšก๏ธ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท โ€” U.S. Central Command:
The U.S. naval blockade against Iran remains in full effect. As of July 25, CENTCOM has redirected 12 commercial vessels trying to run the blockade, disabled 2 that didn't comply, and boarded 2 to ensure total compliance.

Earlier today, U.S. forces completed a verification boarding aboard
Comoros-flagged M/T Charminar in the Arabian Sea, and the tanker is now continuing its journey.

CENTCOM forces disabled
Mozambique-flagged M/T Lavine in the Gulf of Oman, July 24, after the crew attempted to violate the blockade multiple times and ignored repeated warnings. The ship is no longer transiting to Iran.

American forces remain highly vigilant, focused, lethal, and ready.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท โ€” President Trump suspended the expansion of the U.S. military campaign against Iran following a Friday session with Cabinet members and top advisers, citing critical risks to regional defense architecture โ€” NYT citing U.S. and regional sources / N12.

โžก๏ธ JCS Chairman Gen. Dan Caine warned in closed-door talks that broad combat would "dangerously dilute" CENTCOMโ€™s interceptor stockpile, identifying the "dangerous erosion" of Patriot missile assets as a primary factor making large-scale fighting a significant risk to U.S. air defense.

โžก๏ธ Administration concerns include regional escalation, damage to vulnerable Gulf ally relations, a global economic crisis, and worsening refugee flows as Trump grapples with the five-month conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz amid climbing oil prices and failed military deterrence.

โžก๏ธ Kinetic pauses coincided with an Omani delegationโ€™s arrival in Tehran to broker a maritime arrangement potentially reachable this weekend, though a senior official doubted military pressure would force negotiations and Barak Ravid contested that the Friday meeting was intended to authorize broad action.

โžก๏ธ Since June, Russiaโ€™s Voronezh region has undergone preparations to integrate 30,000 North Korean personnel as Pyongyang transfers missile launchers, providing North Korea "real combat experience" and weapon enhancements that Zelenskyy claims threaten all Asian states within missile range.

โžก๏ธ Ukrainian intelligence recorded Russian satellite surveillance of Gulf states and U.S. military assets since early July, citing a "clear correlation" between transferred imagery and Iranian strikes; on July 19-20, surveillance focused on four air bases across Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait for "preparation and damage assessment."
