U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said U.S. security assurances to the Gulf region are 'concrete'.

Kpler shipping-tracking data show nine of 48 commercial vessels confirmed transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Monday — roughly 20% — had previously been sanctioned for energy shipments linked to Iran, Russia or Venezuela. An Iran-flagged bulk carrier, Warta, was tracked entering the Persian Gulf. Two Curaçao-flagged crude tankers, Asha and Lumina Ocean, were sailing along the strait's northern "Iran route." Curaçao-flagged tanker Titan and Botswana-flagged tanker Vigor also exited the strait on Monday.

U.S. House Speaker Johnson says the Save America Act is the chamber's top priority.
