๐ฎ๐ท๐ฎ๐ณ - Reuters and TankerTrackers both report two vessels were fired upon by Iranian gunboats in the Strait of Hormuz, not one. Both belonged to India, and were forced to turn back.
๐ฎ๐ท - Scam messages have been sent to some shipping companies, claiming to offer safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz for a crypto payment, according to Marisks, a maritime security agency.
These messages were not sent by Iran. Marisks believes that one of the vessels that believed they had clearance to pass the Strait, which was later fired upon by Iran, was a victim of this Scam.

It is currently unclear who the car belonged to, as different Israeli media report different stories. Maariv reports the car was from Ben Gvir's detail, while Haaretz says it was not related to Ben Gvir and was tasked to National Missions Minister Orit Strock.
Israeli police currently say the 16-year-old ran a red light into the path of the vehicle, which had the right of way, while he was riding an electric scooter.

๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ท๐ฎ๐ฑ - With the US-Iran temporary ceasefire set to expire tomorrow, it is still unclear if the Iranian delegation will attend the final meetings in Pakistan, with both sides unwilling to budge on key issues like nuclear programs. Meanwhile, the US continues to build up it's forces within the region in the background, with many aspects of the US aerial flights resembling the build-up towards the start of the war, and even more.
As we stated previously, the current air buildup in the Middle East is the largest since Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. Furthermore, the deployment of three aircraft carrier strike groups would make this not only the largest combat naval buildup, but the largest overall US forces buildup since Operation Iraqi Freedom as well.
Two aircraft carrier strike groups are within the CENTCOM area of responsibility, with the third last seen next to Madagascar, estimated to arrive within the week.
While most assets that joined the war have remained within the region or rotated out with equal replacements, the US aerial refueler fleet has continued repositioning flights during the ceasefire, with 94 repositioning flights since the start of the ceasefire compared to 135 in the lead-up to the war (Feb 14โ28). This likely indicates significant movement of new air assets into the CENTCOM area of operations to join existing forces.
U.S. military cargo flights have also seen a large surge when compared to before the war. In the two weeks leading up to the war (Feb 14โ28), 542 cargo flights were tracked heading to the region. Meanwhile, during the ceasefire (Apr 8โ21), 819 cargo flights were tracked throughout the region, with the majority landing in the Middle East.
