As Iran strikes a ship, Gulf nations say peace deal must go beyond the Strait and nuclear weapons

An Iranian drone struck a Singaporean-flagged cargo ship navigating a designated safe route through the Strait of Hormuz near the Oman coast. This vessel was part of a U.N. International Maritime Organization operation to evacuate over 11,000 stranded seafarers. Meanwhile, Gulf nations emphasize that peace deals must address nuclear weapons and the Strait. Simultaneously, Hezbollah demands that Israel withdraw forces from Lebanon as negotiations for a broader peace agreement continue to show slow progress.
