Iran's foreign minister Araghchi said Iran's sword will always hang over the Strait of Hormuz.

The IAEA said a backup power line at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant was repaired and reconnected to the grid today under an IAEA-facilitated local ceasefire. This was the plant’s 19th loss of external power during the conflict; the latest outage lasted nearly three days and was among the longest, underscoring extreme grid vulnerability. The agency is monitoring repairs to the plant’s switchyard and demining work to restore a 750 kV main line interrupted since March. IAEA Director General Grossi said restoring both power lines and the switchyard is essential to secure external power and prevent a nuclear accident, and warned that recent increases in military activity further threaten nuclear safety, urging maximum military restraint near all nuclear facilities.

CENTCOM said U.S. forces continue a strict blockade of Iran. Since April 13, CENTCOM has directed 139 compliant commercial vessels to alter course and rendered nine noncompliant vessels unable to navigate.
