A missile strike hit an ADNOC oil vessel transiting the Strait of Hormuz on August 8, as Iran’s Supreme National Security Council issued a sweeping list of conditions to reopen the waterway. Tehran demanded the US permanently end its war on Iran and its allies, lift all sanctions, withdraw military forces from the region, release frozen assets, and pay compensation for war damages. The US offered no immediate official response. Separately, a projectile strike sparked a fire on a vessel east of Khasab, Oman, though no casualties were reported. The crisis escalated in Yemen, where military forces launched strikes against Houthi rebels, threatening the 2022 truce. The UN envoy warned Yemen faces the highest risk of large-scale conflict since the ceasefire.
