What to know

  • Iran says a Hormuz-reopening proposal under discussion in Qatar could take effect within two days if the U.S. meets its conditions, though no direct U.S.-Iran talks are occurring.
  • Israeli strikes killed eight people in Gaza, including a boy, despite the October 2025 ceasefire; over 1,570 Palestinians have died since the truce took effect.
  • Qatar's Nakilat says an LNG vessel was struck by unidentified objects in the Persian Gulf; responsibility remains unclaimed, though Iran has previously claimed similar strikes.
  • Netanyahu's political weakness after his bloc's election losses has fueled Israeli concern he could seek renewed confrontation with Iran to shore up his standing.
