Interfax reported the RUSSIAN DEFENCE MINISTRY said Russian forces earlier attacked cargo ships and oil tankers in the Black Sea.

Mukhtar Haddad, editor of Iranian paper Al-Vefaq, said U.S. media reports that a Secretary of State remarked Washington would not launch a new round of strikes against Iran indicate a deliberate U.S. strategy to preserve the current standoff through the U.S. midterm elections and resume broader military action afterward. Haddad warned Iran will not passively await U.S. timing. He described recent U.S. announcements of blockades and sanctions as not substantively new, and said if Iran sees the U.S. fail to meet conditions or not return to the memorandum of understanding, Tehran will take necessary measures; he added Iran’s ongoing adjustments to military strategy reflect that stance.
