In addition, the United Arab Emirates, a US ally, said that its air defenses “engaged” 19 Iranian missiles and drones and that a drone attack caused a fire at an oil port in the Fujairah region. • US threat: Trump also warned Iranian forces they would be “blown off the face of the Earth” if they attempted to target US ships in the strait or the Persian Gulf. • Impact on economy: Oil prices rose and stocks fell on concerns about the safety of transiting the critical waterway. Average US gas prices could reach $5 a gallon if the strait remains closed, an oil market expert told CNN. Read more Link Copied! India calls the attack on a major oil port in the United Arab Emirates that left three Indian nationals injured “unacceptable.” “We call for immediate cessation of these hostilities and the targeting of civilian infrastructure and innocent civilians,” a statement from India’s Ministry of External Affairs said. The comments come after Emirati authorities said Monday a “major fire” broke out at the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone after Iranian drones attacked the facility. India “continues to stand for dialogue and diplomacy” in the region, the statement read. “We also call for free and unimpeded navigation and commerce through the Strait of Hormuz in keeping with international law. India stands ready to support all efforts for a peaceful resolution of issues.” CNN’s Manveena Suri contributed to this report. Read more Link Copied! Ships and boats in the Strait of Hormuz near Musandam, Oman, Friday. Stringer/Reuters Day one of Project Freedom , the US military’s plan to get shipping moving again through the Strait of Hormuz, was a success, the top US commander in the Middle East says. But independent analysts are more circumspect, pointing out that only two US-flagged vessels made it through the strait under US protection and scaling up the operation to restore pre-war traffic of 120 or vessels a day seems like a long shot, especially if Iran is not cooperating. Adm. Bradley Cooper, the head of US Central Command, told reporters in a conference call Monday that the US used a combined force of destroyers, helicopters, fighter jets, drones and other assets to protect the movement of the two US ships through the strait. Iranian cruise missiles that targeted US Navy destroyers and the merchant ships were shot down, and US helicopters sank six small Iranian boats that attempted to attack the commercial vessels, the US admiral said. “We have defeated each and every one of those threats through the clinical application of defensive munitions,” he said. For those two merchant ships, the operation seemed to go exactly as it was envisioned, with layered US defenses protecting ships following a route the US Navy determined was safe from mines. Cooper said there was “a lot of enthusiasm” for Project Freedom and other ships were moving to take advantage of it. Analyst Carl Schuster, a former US Navy captain, told CNN he thinks those merchant ship numbers could soon grow to 20 to 30 a day if US protection isn’t breached. But he and others cautioned, “Iran gets a vote in this.” Retired US Army Lieutenant Gen. Karen Gibson, speaking on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” called the first day of Project Freedom a “tactical success,” but said it must be measured against that pre-war flow of 120 vessels a day. Iran just needs to continue to present a perception of risk to keep merchant traffic to small numbers, she said, essentially keeping Hormuz all but closed. “Commercial confidence is really the center of gravity,” Gibson said.

The ceasefire with Iran is on shaky ground amid apparently competing priorities between hardliners and moderates in Iran and its future could hinge on what happens in the Strait of Hormuz Tuesday, CNN International Diplomatic Editor Nic Robertson reports.

The South Korean-operated vessel in the Strait of Hormuz that caught fire after an explosion on Monday will be towed to a nearby port for checks and repairs, Seoul’s foreign ministry said Tuesday. The ministry said investigations will be carried out to determine the exact cause of the fire after the vessel is towed. The ship was carrying 24 crew members, including six South Koreans, and no casualties were reported, authorities said. Twenty-six South Korea-related vessels have been stranded at the strait since the war in the Middle East began. Read more Link Copied! Iran launched drone and rocket attacks at targets in the United Arab Emirates on Monday, authorities said. The UAE, a US ally, said its air defenses “engaged” 19 Iranian missiles and drones. However, three Indian nationals were moderately injured following a drone strike that sparked a “major fire” at the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone. CNN’s Paula Hancocks reports.

US President Donald Trump’s highly anticipated visit to Beijing next week could complicate any decision to resume the war with Iran. He initially delayed the trip from April while the conflict raged. China has called for reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, where much of the energy products it relies upon pass through. Arriving in Beijing with the conflict at best unresolved — or at worst raging yet again — could place Trump in a weakened position in his talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Speaking to Fox News on Monday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent — who has been leading preliminary discussions with the Chinese ahead of Trump’s visit — said the country could do more to convince Iran to allow ships to pass through the strait. “Let’s see if China – let’s see them step up with some diplomacy and get the Iranians to open the strait,” he said.

After triggering fresh violence in the Gulf, “Project Freedom” appears to have backfired and shipping executives remain extremely wary about crossing the Strait of Hormuz. “The strait is still incredibly hazardous and I expect most ships will continue to avoid transit until both sides come up with something more concrete,” said Tim Huxley, Chairman of Mandarin Shipping. Even if an agreement is reached, “it may take time for political statements and military initiatives to translate into safe, workable operating conditions for vessels and crews in crowded and contested waters,” said Angad Banga, CEO of The Caravel Group, which oversees the world’s second-largest ship management company. “In the meantime, tens of thousands of civilian seafarers continue to operate under risks they did not choose, and global trade depends on them. Their safety and well-being must remain a priority at every stage of the response.” Since US President Donald Trump launched “Project Freedom” Monday in an effort to guide shipping traffic through the strait, a number of commercial ships have been hit, including a South Korean vessel. And the UAE said Iran fired missiles and drones at a major oil port in Fujairah, which lies just beyond the strait. Its location is significant as it’s one of the few export routes for Middle East oil that does not need to transit through the critical waterway. This is the biggest escalation in violence since the ceasefire was announced four weeks ago. There is also no surge in shipping traffic. The US said two US merchant ships crossed the strait, which Iran denied. The US also said it destroyed at least six small Iranian boats, a claim also denied by Iran. The US plan has left shipping executives scratching their heads, with few details provided by Trump or US Central Command and Iran saying commercial ships and tankers need to coordinate with its armed forces. “There is no specificity about which countries have asked for this humanitarian mission, nor how this may be coordinated with Iran, if at all,” said Simon Kaye, Global Director of Reinsurance at NorthStandard, which provides liability insurance for much of the world’s shipping fleet. As the shipping industry waits for clarity, oil prices continue to soar. US gas prices have hit $4.46 a gallon – the highest level in nearly four years. One oil market expert told CNN that gas prices could reach $5 a gallon if the strait remains closed. Read more Link Copied! Iran's Foreign M
