Iran’s paramilitary claims to release footage of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who’s been absent since March and rumored to be injured — a move meant to silence speculation and humiliate foes. Simultaneously, Iran negotiates with Oman over new shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz, insisting the strait won’t reopen until U.S. conditions are met — a critical chokepoint for global energy. Meanwhile, Israel rejects Trump’s Gaza peace plan, demanding Hamas fully disarm before any withdrawal — turning a fragile truce into a stalemate. A high-stakes geopolitical game unfolds as power plays collide across the Middle East.
