Despite ongoing searches of the strategic waterway โ using underwater drones, robots, and both manned & unmanned aircraft โ the US military has not found definitive proof that Iran placed mines in the Strait of Hormuz, NBC reported, citing unnamed US officials.
Originally, US intelligence believed Iran placed mines on the southern side of the strait before or shortly after the war began in February.
President Trump and top officials have repeatedly warned about Iranian mines, but so farโฆ the proof is missing.
This comes amid growing confusion over the real threat level in one of the world's most critical shipping lanes.

Finance Minister Scott Bessent announces that the US government has confiscated Iran's cryptocurrency worth $1 billion:
โThey just seized the wallets directly. Some of them might be typing right now and not even aware that their wallet has been "stolen".
I often wonder in these types of interviews who is getting interviewed and who is doing the talking. The "journalist" had zero reason for Bessent to even be there.

VIDEO | 'They beat us, shot at us with rubber bullets, and injected us with substances.'
Alonso Agustin Santos Rivera, a member of the Sumud Flotilla recently pirated by Israeli forces, describes a harrowing pattern of physical and psychological abuse suffered while detained by Israeli forces.
According to his account, detainees were confined to fenced containers and subjected to continuous physical violence, which included being shot with rubber bullets and tasers, targeted with grenades, blinded by intense searchlights, and attacked by dogs.
Rivera notes that "they injected us with substances" and used tightly bound restraints that cut off blood circulation, causing pain so intense they felt they were losing their mind or about to die.

๐ฎ๐ท๐ฆ๐ช๐บ๐ธ In a statement, the IRGC announced that it had shot down a U.S. MQ-1 unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) that attempted to violate Iranian airspace.
However, the MQ-1 Predator has been retired from U.S. military service since 2018, and the UCAV could instead belong to another operator in the region, such as the United Arab Emirates.

- Iran says no final agreement is in hand; Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei confirmed message exchanges are still ongoing.
- The proposed deal would end the US-Israeli military campaign in exchange for Iran lifting its Strait of Hormuz blockade โ with the nuclear program pushed to later talks.
- Defense Secretary Hegseth, speaking in Singapore, downplayed the deal's imminence and insisted US munitions stockpiles remain ready for renewed fighting.
- Both US Republican hawks and Iranian hard-liners are attacking the agreement โ the latter calling it too conciliatory, with Rezaei accusing Trump of excessive demands.
