Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

After we attacked a U.S. base on Qatar's soil, the Qataris were very upset.

Subsequently, the Arab nations issued statements condemning the attack on Qatar. I asked for my signature to be put on it too, because Iran also supports Qatar — the American base is a separate issue.

Ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz are transmitting unusual messages declaring their supposed national ties — such as “China owned” or “Russian crude” — in an effort to appear neutral and avoid being targeted, according to maritime analytics firm Windward and recent tracking data.

The practice began after fighting erupted earlier this month between Israel and Iran. Although Trump brokered a ceasefire after 12 days of conflict, the Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC) says the maritime threat remains elevated.

Windward identified 55 vessels that broadcast 101 atypical messages between June 12 and 24 across the Gulf and Red Sea. The goal appears to be distancing ships from Western ties, particularly the U.S., UK, and Israel, which are perceived as higher-risk targets.

Examples from recent days include a Panama-flagged container ship en route to Pakistan broadcasting “PKKHI all Chinese,” and a China-flagged supertanker initially broadcasting “Chinese ship” before switching to “CN NBG” — its port in Ningbo — after clearing the Strait. A Singapore-flagged container ship crossing the Red Sea signaled “Vsl no link Israel.”

On June 24, commercial ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz spiked 30%, just one day after the ceasefire. Roughly one-fifth of global oil supply passes through the strait.

JMIC also warned of increasing GPS jamming and electronic interference in the region, which can throw ships off course and raise the risk of collisions.
