Two further accounts of Saturday's US strikes on three Iranian tankers restate the CENTCOM claims this feed has already carried: M/T Downy permanently disabled off Kharg Island, M/T Stark 1 disabled near Jask, and the unladen M/T Kylo destroyed in the Gulf of Oman after what CENTCOM called failed Iranian attacks on an American carrier and destroyer. Adm. Brad Cooper's warning that the US will "if necessary, destroy Iran's limited and exposed oil fleet" is repeated in both [1] [2]. The new material lies elsewhere.

AP reports that the United States, Britain, France and Germany now seek to refer Iran to the UN Security Council for failure to comply with its nuclear nonproliferation obligations, citing diplomats. That is the first sign in this feed that the nuclear file — meant to be addressed in the talks that collapsed soon after Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding in mid-June — is heading back to New York. AP notes that Tehran's leverage now rests instead on the strait, "seen as an international waterway before the war began" [1].

AP also gives the first detailed account of the strike on a wedding in southern Iran earlier this week, an incident this feed has flagged as unresolved. At least five people were killed in the bombardment. Two wounded girls spoke to the agency from hospital: Masoumeh Zarei, 13, said she was knocked unconscious when a telecommunications tower was struck, and Kiana Karimi, 14, said she heard five explosions [1].

On the corridor itself, AP says the US military has been guiding ships through the strait while Tehran asserts control and targets some vessels, but that "overall traffic remains low" — a description that sits awkwardly with the administration's message, repeated by AFP, that flows are returning to prewar levels [1] [2].

Caveats stand. AP says it was not clear when the Iranian missiles at the US warships were fired. CENTCOM has not answered questions about the IRGC's claim to have hit three tankers on "unauthorised" routes in the strait and three US-linked vessels elsewhere, and UKMTO has no immediate reports of civilian tankers targeted there [1] [2].
