📰 THE FULL STORY

The US military has narrowed the daily window in which it offers air defense to commercial ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz, reducing it to two specific time slots each day since the start of September, according to Zero Hedge. Iran imposed a blockade on the strait after the US and Israel launched a war on Iran on February 28, and Iranian forces have since attacked dozens of vessels.

This week Iran targeted two vessels and eight oil tankers in Hormuz in response to US strikes on five Iranian tankers, after Iran's IRGC attacked a US warship. Zero Hedge reports that Gulf oil exports other than Iran's stood at about two thirds of prewar levels in August, with pipelines used to bypass Hormuz. Before the war, at least 20 percent of world oil exports passed through the strait.

CNN reported that Trump says Iran is likely responsible for an attack that shut a vital Saudi oil pipeline. The New York Times published an explainer on the attack on what it called Saudi Arabia's oil lifeline. PBS NewsHour reported that Saudi Arabia has few options as it faces mounting threats from Iran and its allies.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran is not at war with Saudi Arabia, according to Al Jazeera. He said the Houthis have their own issues, and he called for regional countries to work together to establish peace and security.

Zero Hedge adds that Iran's Foreign Ministry said Gulf states foreign ministers will meet in Oman on Monday to discuss designating safe routes through the strait, with Iran saying an agreement with Oman on temporary secure passage has reached its final stage.

Al Jazeera foregrounds Iranian President Pezeshkian's message that Tehran is not at war with Saudi Arabia, that the Houthis have their own issues, and that regional countries should work together for peace and security. The default read balances Saudi vulnerability against Iran's stated de-escalation, without dwelling on the specific tanker exchanges emphasized on the right. (PBS NewsHour, Al Jazeera)

⚠️ WHAT THEY AREN'T TELLING YOU
Zero Hedge reports the US has quietly reduced its air defense coverage for tankers to just two specific time slots per day since the start of September. It also traces the blockade to the US and Israeli war launched on Iran on February 28, and no
