Iran's joint military command announces closure of Strait of Hormuz to vessel traffic, citing US bad faith and Israeli ceasefire violations, with warnings of further steps. US VP Vance says talks are going well, expects to go to Switzerland, and is confident ceasefire can be maintained, partially offsetting the Hormuz closure announcement. Ukrainian drone strikes hit Moscow oil refinery and Tyumen oil refinery (2,000 km deep), causing fires and flight suspensions, escalating energy supply risks. Iraq tells five major oil fields to boost production to pre-war levels after US-Iran deal, targeting over 3 million barrels per day, anticipating Strait of Hormuz reopening.
