The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) reported in the early hours of Wednesday that it had concluded its fourth wave of strikes against Iran and announced the resumption of a naval blockade of Iranian ports and coasts, a measure that had been suspended during negotiations that produced the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding. U.S. President Donald Trump declared that agreement terminated.

In response, Iran launched new attacks against U.S. military bases in Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait. The Jordanian military reported that its air defense systems intercepted and shot down three Iranian ballistic missiles, while Bahrain and Kuwait announced response operations.

Prior to the latest escalation, Trump warned he would order strikes on Iran’s strategic infrastructure if Tehran did not agree to negotiate a ceasefire. “We will put all their power plants out of commission. We will put all their bridges out of commission, unless they sit down at the table and negotiate,” he said.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20% of the world’s traded oil and gas passes, will remain closed until U.S. military actions cease.

Death of an Indian sailor who went missing after an attack off the coast of Oman was confirmed

An Indian national who had been missing after the attack on the merchant vessel GFS Galaxy off the coast of Oman has died, his father-in-law confirmed on Wednesday, according to Reuters. Of the 11 Indian crew members aboard, 10 were rescued, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs reported on Sunday.

A former Iranian foreign minister called for a ground attack on a U.S. base and taking hostages

Former Iranian foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki proposed mounting a ground offensive against a U.S. military base in the Middle East and seizing hostages to bring them to Iranian territory.

“My proposal is to launch a ground attack on one of the U.S. bases in the region, capture 100 Americans and take them to Iran,” said Mottaki, who is currently a member of the Iranian parliament.

Marco Rubio and Jordan’s foreign minister discussed Iranian attacks on vessels in the Middle East

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he held a meeting with Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi to address regional security issues, including “the ongoing attacks by Iran against vessels and countries in the region.”

UN Security Council voted to continue monitoring Houthi attacks in the Red Sea

The UN Security Council adopted a resolution extending UN monitoring of attacks carried out by the Houthis in the Red Sea for six months.

The measure, supported by thirteen votes in favor with China and Russia abstaining, requires the UN Secretary-General to submit monthly reports to the Council on the situation.

The Yemeni Houthi rebel group began its attacks on vessels in the Red Sea in late 2023, saying its targets were ships linked to Israel in response to the conflict in Gaza.

Ships linked to Iran left the Strait of Hormuz before the U.S. blockade

On Tuesday there was an increase in the number of vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, most linked to Iranian trade, ahead of the U.S. blockade set to take effect on Wednesday, according to maritime transport data. Kpler records indicate that nine of the eleven ships that passed the route that day used the Iranian side.

Among the vessels entering the strait were three empty tankers: an Aframax and two larger tankers. For departures, the data show that a VLCC carried 2 million barrels of crude oil, a medium tanker carried refined products, and two other vessels transported liquefied petroleum gas.

The commercial flow also included a methanol tanker and a bulk carrier carrying iron ore, both departing the Gulf on Tuesday.

Jordanian Army said it shot down three missiles launched by Iran

The Jordanian Army said its air defense systems intercepted and shot down three ballistic missiles that entered Jordanian airspace from Iranian territory. In an official statement, authorities said Royal Engineer Corps teams managed the debris from the missiles that fell in different locations, following technical and safety protocols, and secured the affected areas to protect people and property.

“The Jordanian Armed Forces reject any violation of the Kingdom’s sovereignty or the use of its airspace to threaten its security and stability,” the military authorities said, stressing that they maintain aerial surveillance at the highest state of readiness.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard struck Gulf countries after the CENTCOM operation

The Iranian military announced in the early hours of Wednesday new drone strikes against U.S. military installations in the Middle East amid the latest military escalation between Tehran and Washington. According to a statement released by Tasnim news agency, which is linked to the Revolutionary Guard, Al Azraq air base in Jordan—where F-18 fighters, housing and U.S. equipment depots were located—was attacked with drones.

The military defended the operation, named “Relámpago,” and declared that “the era of face-to-face blows is over and any action against the soil, waters or skies of this historic country will not go unanswered or without a proportional cost.”

Additionally, the Revolutionary Guard reported attacks by its Navy and Aerospace Force against a U.S. depot at the Sheikh Isa base in Bahrain and against U.S. drones at the Ali Al Salem base in Kuwait. According to the statement, “in a simultaneous operation using missiles and drones, fighters of the Navy and Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps destroyed several depots of weapons and spare parts for enemy ships and aircraft at the Sheikh Isa base in Bahrain a few hours ago.”

The military communique also noted that “they also struck the ramp from which enemy MQ-9 drones were launched at the Ali Al Salem base in Kuwait, destroying or damaging several of them.”

Iran: the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until “the evils of the United States” end

The Revolutionary Guard of Iran announced that the strategic waterway will remain closed until U.S. actions cease, according to a statement released on Tuesday. The military organization claimed that the U.S. military attacked Iranian bases “under the pretext of striking offending vessels” attempting to transit the strait, “to cover up their defeat and incapacity.”

In the statement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard emphasized that “no ship dared to violate [the Iranian blockade] or to accompany the United States,” and added that, as a result, “there were naturally no impacts” during the operation.

White House: “Divisions in Iran demonstrate the success of Trump’s policy”

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said that internal divisions among the leaders of the Iranian regime reflect the success of President Donald Trump’s policy toward Tehran. Miller made the remarks in an interview with Fox News.

The U.S. official said Iran’s leadership is currently facing “huge fissures the size of cannons” after decades of unity. Miller reiterated that the United States urges Iran to back a peace program and to abandon its nuclear ambitions.

Pezeshkian said he will defend “every inch” of Iran amid new escalation with the U.S.

Iranian President Masud Pezeshkian said his country will defend “every inch” of its territory amid rising tensions with the United States, after U.S. President Donald Trump said he had eliminated much of Iran’s military capabilities. “We will defend every inch of our homeland with our actions,” Pezeshkian said in an interview with state television.

The head of state’s remarks came in the context of growing hostilities, after the United States launched strikes in southern Iran following Tehran’s attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. In response, Iran launched missiles and drones at U.S. targets in the region.

“His rhetoric continues, but the question is: have they achieved their objectives on the battlefield?” Pezeshkian challenged, referring to Trump’s statements and U.S. military actions.

A Russian attack during the night from Tuesday into Wednesday on the city of Odesa in southern Ukraine killed three people and injured three more, regional authorities reported. “The enemy has attacked the city again,” Sergiy Lysak, head of the Odesa military administration, wrote on Telegram, adding that the strike hit residential buildings.

Lysak said that “for the moment, it is known that three people died as a result of the enemy attack,” and that three other victims were hospitalized.

In addition, another nighttime strike using cluster munitions hit a residential area on the outskirts of Sumy in northern Ukraine, causing several injuries and damage to private homes, regional administration head Oleg Hrygorov and Sumy city military administration head Serhiy Kryvosheyenko reported. Authorities warned that unexploded ordnance may remain in streets near the impact site.

Later, the head of Sumy’s Motor Vehicle Department reported that seven people were injured in those incidents. Among them was an 11-year-old child who suffered an acute stress reaction and received medical attention on site. A 30-year-old man and a 59-year-old woman remain in serious condition. Two of the injured are hospitalized, while two others are receiving outpatient treatment.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said on Wednesday that the military carried out strikes against the southern ports of Odesa and Chornomorsk in the Odesa region, as well as the Dnipro-Buh area. In a statement published on the social network MAX, it said the attacked quays were “used to supply the Ukrainian armed forces.”

According to the official statement, Russian forces struck fuel storage tanks, drone production and assembly workshops, and four Ukrainian military supply vessels. The Russian military frequently targets Ukrainian port infrastructure, especially in the Odesa region.

Russian air defenses shot down 36 Ukrainian drones that were heading toward Moscow over the course of the day. Moscow mayor Sergey Sobyanin wrote on social media that emergency service teams are working at the sites where debris from the destroyed drones fell.

In recent weeks, Kyiv has intensified attacks on Moscow and its surroundings; authorities reported the previous day that more than 350 enemy drones had been shot down.

From Moscow, President Vladimir Putin pledged victory in Ukraine during his first electoral event ahead of the September legislative elections, in which the ruling United Russia party will seek to keep its parliamentary majority. “Our strength lies in that we always overcome every difficulty and every fear. And that makes us stronger. And that is precisely why, of course, we always move forward and will continue to do so,” Putin said at the “All for Victory” forum organized by the Popular Front platform.

The president said Russian forces are advancing on the front and that the national economy continues to develop despite Western restrictions. According to Putin, citizens have donated about 70 billion rubles (roughly USD 913 million) to the military through the Popular Front. “And therefore, without a doubt, victory awaits us,” he said.

The remarks were made in the presence of military personnel and their families, one day after Russia’s Central Electoral Commission (CEC) approved the candidate lists of eleven parties for the September 20 elections. The CEC must still verify the documentation for all those seeking a seat, so the total number of authorized candidates is not yet finalized.

Amid public dissatisfaction over the war, economic decline, internet restrictions and a fuel crisis, polls place support for United Russia at historically low levels. The September vote will be the first legislative election since the invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022.

A Russian attack during Tuesday night and the early hours of Wednesday against the city of Odesa in southern Ukraine killed three people and wounded three others, regional authorities reported. “The enemy has attacked the city again,” said Sergiy Lysak, head of the Odesa military administration, via Telegram, adding that the strike hit residential buildings.

Lysak stated that “for the moment, it is known that three people died as a result of the enemy attack,” and added that three other victims were hospitalized.

Additionally, another nighttime attack with cluster munitions struck a residential area on the outskirts of Sumy in northern Ukraine, causing several injuries and damage to private homes, authorities said — according to Oleg Hrygorov, head of the regional administration, and Serhiy Kryvosheyenko, head of the city’s military administration. Authorities warned that unexploded ordnance could remain in the streets near the impact site.

Subsequently, the head of Sumy’s Department of Motor Vehicles reported that seven people were injured in these incidents.

Russia’s Ministry of Defense reported on Wednesday that the military carried out strikes against the southern ports of Odesa and Chornomorsk in the Odesa region, as well as in the Dnipro-Buh area. According to a statement posted on the social network MAX, the attacked docks were “used to supply the Ukrainian armed forces.”

According to official information, Russian forces struck fuel storage tanks, drone production and assembly workshops, and four Ukrainian military supply vessels. The Russian military frequently bombs Ukrainian port infrastructure, especially in the Odesa region.

Russian air defenses shot down 36 Ukrainian drones that were heading to Moscow over the course of the day. The capital’s mayor, Sergey Sobyanin, wrote on social media that emergency services specialists are working at the sites where the wreckage of the destroyed devices fell.

The recent rise in misinformation on social media, identified in recent weeks by activists and intelligence bodies, appears aimed at influencing Germany’s regional elections. Several observers attribute these campaigns to Russian operations, raising concern among authorities and civil society about their potential effect on the September vote.

In eastern Germany, Alternative for Germany (AfD) tops polls in Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and seeks to lead a regional government for the first time since 1945. The advance of this pro‐Russian, anti‐immigration party would be a setback for Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s coalition and could mark a significant shift in German politics.

With the elections approaching, posts containing false or misleading content have proliferated on platforms such as X, TikTok and Bluesky. Monitoring groups and German lawmakers say the main hypothesis is that Russia is behind these attacks, deploying tactics intended to benefit the far right and to erode trust in mainstream parties.

Legislators and activists have backed up suspicions of Russian interference in digital campaigns, pointing to the emergence of fake accounts and the spread of corruption allegations against AfD rivals and BSW, a small far‐left party also identified as pro‐Russian. The operations reportedly used forged versions of established outlets such as AFP, ARD and Deutsche Welle to widen the reach of the disinformation.

Antibot4Navalny, an anonymous collective named after the assassinated Russian opposition figure, documented two campaigns since June. “There is no other plausible explanation,” an activist from the group told AFP, saying the maneuvers resemble the Matryoshka operation previously linked to the Kremlin.

The German government has avoided directly commenting on the Matryoshka operation, while acknowledging that “manipulation operations… have long constituted a daily threat.” That cautious stance partly reflects a desire not to inadvertently amplify the reach of the disinformation efforts.

Konstantin von Notz, a Green Party deputy and vice‐chair of the intelligence oversight committee, told AFP bluntly: “The narrative spread from Russia to Germany, funded by a multimillion‐euro budget, is then deliberately retransmitted selectively by the AfD.” Von Notz also criticized the government’s lack of response and called for stronger action against what he sees as a real danger.

The Russian embassy dismissed the accusations as “ridiculous,” warning that Germany and Europe are following “an extremely dangerous path” that harms their citizens. The governing coalition, led by the CDU/CSU and the SPD, has repeatedly described Moscow’s activity as a “hybrid war” that goes beyond propaganda to include espionage and sabotage.

The domestic intelligence service (BfV) said it is aware of the digital campaign and its similarities to known Russian operations, though no concrete countermeasures have been announced so far. Marc Henrichmann, chair of the intelligence oversight committee and a CDU deputy, stressed caution: “If by directing a campaign at a specific audience we give it even more publicity, then, obviously, we will have made a mistake.” Henrichmann also called for greater powers for intelligence services to tackle the phenomenon.

The AfD has rejected the accusations. Ulrich Siegmund, the party’s lead candidate in Saxony‐Anhalt, told AFP: “Seeking reasonable understanding with another country does not mean you are working to achieve it.” He insisted that Germany’s interests should guide the party’s policies, including defending purchases of inexpensive Russian energy and cutting spending on Ukraine and immigration.

Among the party’s supporters, viewing Russia as a natural ally is common. Hans‐Joachim Dietrich, a retired truck driver, told AFP: “I think we should more firmly defend, even within the AfD, that Russia is our natural ally.”

Henrichmann warned of the danger of a “cognitive war” driven from Moscow, intended to sow fear and division in Germany, particularly amid military reforms and support for Ukraine against Russia.

“There is no doubt: the AfD is the mouthpiece of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Germany and is consciously exploiting these narratives,” the lawmaker said. Nonetheless, both Henrichmann and activists acknowledge that, for now, the digital campaign’s reach is limited; they stress that monitoring must continue and that intelligence powers should be strengthened to protect the democratic process.

International oil prices rose again on Wednesday as military tensions between the United States and Iran increased and the risk of new disruptions to crude shipments through the Strait of Hormuz grew, while financial markets balanced the conflict’s impact with a U.S. inflation reading that came in better than expected.

U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) gained $0.86 to trade at $80.20 per barrel, while Brent rose $1.15 to $85.88 per barrel, driven by concerns about potential restrictions on one of the world’s main energy routes.

The renewed military escalation heightened investor worries after cross-attacks between Washington and Tehran, raising the prospect of further interruptions to oil and gas transit through the Strait of Hormuz.

“The Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Iran signed last month turned out to be anything but that. Both sides are again exchanging military strikes and maintain completely different positions on the situation in the Strait of Hormuz,” said Tim Waterer, chief markets analyst at KCM Trade.

The analyst added that “with navigation in the Gulf increasingly dangerous, transport flows are declining again,” referring to the effect the crisis is having on international maritime trade.

Tensions flared again after new attacks in the region, increasing uncertainty about global energy supplies and adding upward pressure on oil prices.

Despite this backdrop, Asian stock markets mostly closed higher, following gains on Wall Street on Tuesday after a U.S. inflation report came in below market expectations.

South Korea’s Kospi led the advances, rising 7.1% to 7,343.37 points, helped by a rebound in semiconductor stocks after sharp losses in previous sessions.

In Japan, the Nikkei 225 rose 0.9% to 68,353.91 points, while Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 added 0.2%, closing at 8,830 points.

In China, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng gained 1.6% to 24,721.10 points, while the Shanghai Composite fell 0.4% to 3,952.04.

In the United States, major indices also ended the day higher. The S&P 500 rose 0.4% to 7,543.59, recovering part of the prior session’s 0.8% decline. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained less than 0.1% to finish at 52,508.27, and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.9% to 26,107.01.

Markets were supported after the U.S. consumer price index showed that consumer prices rose 3.5% over the past twelve months, a reading that was less negative than analysts had expected.

That report reduced expectations of an additional interest-rate hike by the Federal Reserve at its next meeting.

After the data release, traders assigned less than a 17% probability to another increase in the Fed’s policy rate at the upcoming meeting.

International oil prices rose again on Wednesday amid escalating military tensions between the United States and Iran and the risk of new disruptions to crude shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, while financial markets weighed the conflict’s impact against a better-than-expected US inflation reading.

US benchmark crude (WTI) gained $0.86 to trade at $80.20 per barrel, while Brent, the international reference, advanced $1.15 to $85.88 per barrel, driven by fears of further restrictions on one of the world’s main energy routes.

The renewed military escalation increased investor concern after reciprocal attacks between Washington and Tehran, raising the risk of additional interruptions to oil and gas transport through the Strait of Hormuz.

“The Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Iran signed last month turned out to be anything but that. Both sides are again exchanging military attacks and hold completely different positions on the situation in the Strait of Hormuz,” said Tim Waterer, chief markets analyst at KCM Trade.

The analyst added that “with navigation in the Gulf increasingly dangerous, transport flows are once again declining,” referring to the crisis’s effect on international maritime trade.

Tensions were reactivated after new attacks in the region, which heightened uncertainty about global energy supply and put further upward pressure on oil prices.

Despite that backdrop, Asian stock markets mostly closed higher, following Tuesday’s gains on Wall Street after a US inflation reading came in below market expectations.

In the United States, major stock indexes also closed higher. The S&P 500 rose 0.4% to 7,543.59 points, recovering part of the 0.8% decline from the previous session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added less than 0.1% to finish at 52,508.27 points, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 0.9% to 26,107.01 points.

Markets found support after the release of the US inflation index, which showed consumer prices rose 3.5% over the past 12 months, a figure that was less adverse than analysts had expected.

That report reduced expectations for an additional interest-rate increase by the Federal Reserve (Fed) at its next meeting.

After the data was published, traders assigned less than a 17% probability to another hike in the policy rate at the meeting scheduled for the coming weeks.

Iran warned on Wednesday that it would close “all other export corridors that benefit the United States and its allies” following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the reinstatement of a U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports. The statement came amid a new military escalation between Washington and Tehran, cross-border attacks in the region, and another rise in international oil prices.

The warning was issued in a statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, published by state news agency IRNA, saying that “regional energy exports will either be shared among all or denied to all.”

The threat widened the crisis after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil and gas shipments. Analysts cited by Reuters said Tehran signaled it might use its Houthi allies in Yemen to also block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and carries Saudi oil exports and a substantial portion of global maritime trade.

A senior Houthi official had already warned on Monday that the group was prepared to close Bab el-Mandeb if Saudi Arabia continued attacks on Yemen. According to a report by Iran’s Press TV, the leader said such a move could push oil prices up to $200 per barrel.

Tensions rose after the Houthis launched missiles at Saudi Arabia, accusing the kingdom of bombing an airport under their control; that incident broke a four-year truce between the two sides.

The Houthis have already demonstrated their ability to disrupt international trade. After the outbreak of the Gaza war in October 2023, the group attacked commercial vessels in the Red Sea, saying it was targeting ships linked to Israel in support of the Palestinian cause.

The new threat to Bab el-Mandeb came a day after the U.S. military announced another round of strikes “to further degrade Iranian capabilities used to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.”

The United States said Iran attacked seven merchant vessels during the past week, resulting in nearly a dozen crew members killed, wounded, or missing.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) also reported striking dozens of military targets near the Strait of Hormuz and along Iranian coastal areas, saying the operation lasted seven hours.

The Revolutionary Guard said the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed “until the end of America’s evils.” Before the war began in February, roughly one-fifth of the world’s daily oil and gas shipments transited that waterway.

The Iranian military body also said it struck command, control, logistics, fuel, and military equipment sites belonging to the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain in response to U.S. bombings.

It added that it set fire to and destroyed a U.S. logistics facility in Mina Abdullah, Kuwait, and that its air force attacked a U.S. base in Azraq, Jordan, aiming to hit aircraft hangars. The Revolutionary Guard claimed some U.S. strikes originated from bases in Jordanian territory.

Kuwait’s state news agency reported Wednesday morning that a fire at a site struck by Iran was under control, but it did not specify whether that location matched the facility named by the Revolutionary Guard.

Jordanian authorities said their air defenses intercepted and shot down three ballistic missiles that entered the country’s airspace from Iranian territory during the early hours.

Hostilities between Iran and the United States intensified last week, undermining a ceasefire reached in June after months of clashes that left thousands dead.

In that context, U.S. President Donald Trump warned he would order strikes on Iran’s strategic infrastructure if Tehran did not return to negotiations. “I’ll leave the energy targets for last, but in the end we will get them,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News.

The president added that U.S. negotiators had delivered a direct message to Iranian authorities: “They had better reach a deal.”

Trump also dropped a proposal announced on Monday to impose a 20% tariff on shipping that passes through the Strait of Hormuz. The idea drew criticism from the U.N. maritime agency and various shipping industry stakeholders. On Tuesday he said he would pursue investment agreements with Gulf countries instead of implementing that levy.

The military escalation once again affected energy markets. Oil prices rose on Wednesday after closing the previous session up about 2%, driven by supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.

Brent crude ended Tuesday at its highest level since June 12, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) reached its strongest price since June 15. Both contracts extended gains at the start of trading on Wednesday.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) also reported striking dozens of military targets near the Strait of Hormuz and in Iranian coastal areas. The operation, CENTCOM said, lasted seven hours.

The Revolutionary Guard said the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed “until the end of the evils of the United States.” Before the war began in February, roughly one-fifth of the world’s daily oil and gas shipments passed through that waterway.

The Iranian military body also said it struck command, control, logistics, fuel, and equipment facilities belonging to the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain in response to U.S. bombings.

It added that it set fire to and destroyed a U.S. logistics facility in Mina Abdullah, Kuwait, and that its air force attacked a U.S. base in Azraq, Jordan, aiming at aircraft hangars. The Revolutionary Guard said some of the U.S. strikes were launched from bases on Jordanian territory.

Kuwait’s state news agency reported Wednesday morning that a fire at a site hit by Iran was under control, but did not specify whether the site matched the facility named by the Revolutionary Guard.

Meanwhile, Jordanian authorities said air defenses intercepted and shot down three ballistic missiles that entered the country’s airspace from Iranian territory during the night.

Hostilities between Iran and the United States intensified again last week, undermining a truce reached in June after months of clashes that left thousands dead.

In that context, U.S. President Donald Trump warned he would order strikes on Iran’s strategic infrastructure if Tehran did not return to negotiations. “I’ll leave energy targets for last, but in the end we’ll get them,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News.

The president added that U.S. negotiators had delivered a direct message to Iranian authorities: “They better reach an agreement.”

Trump also abandoned a proposal put forward on Monday to impose a 20% tariff on shipping transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The proposal drew criticism from the UN maritime agency and various shipping industry stakeholders. On Tuesday he said he would seek investment agreements with Gulf countries instead of pursuing the tariff.

The military escalation again affected energy markets. Oil prices rose on Wednesday after closing the previous session up 2%, driven by supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.

Brent crude finished Tuesday at its highest level since June 12, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) reached its highest price since June 15. Both contracts extended gains at the start of trading on Wednesday.

Las fuerzas militares de Estados Unidos realizaron por cuarto día consecutivo ataques contra objetivos en Irán y restablecieron un bloqueo naval que impide el paso de embarcaciones hacia y desde puertos iraníes, según informó el Comando Central de Estados Unidos (CENTCOM).

El presidente Donald Trump advirtió que, si no se inician negociaciones, la próxima semana los bombardeos se ampliarán a centrales eléctricas y puentes en Irán. En una entrevista en Fox News afirmó que, salvo que Teherán acepte sentarse a negociar, podrían destruirse instalaciones eléctricas y puentes.

Trump también retrocedió respecto a su amenaza de imponer aranceles elevados a los buques que transiten por el estrecho de Ormuz, corredor clave para el petróleo y el gas del Golfo Pérsico.

El restablecimiento del bloqueo provocó una reacción diplomática inmediata de Irán. El viceministro de Relaciones Exteriores, Kazem Gharibabadi, declaró que la medida “desmantela, en cierta forma, el memorando de Islamabad”, en referencia al acuerdo que habría servido de marco para conversaciones previas.
