Odaily Planet Daily reports that US Vice President Vance accused Iran of "economic terrorism" by closing the Strait of Hormuz and defended the US blockade of Iranian ports, calling it a reciprocal response. Vance stated that Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz amounted to "economic terrorism against the whole world." "They've basically threatened every ship that passes through the Strait of Hormuz." "As the US president has shown, we can play this game too," he added. "If the Iranians want to engage in 'economic terrorism,' we will also adhere to a simple principle: no Iranian ship will leave."

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Circle founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire stated during a speech at an offline event in Seoul, South Korea (video 31:11): "We are exploring issuing a token for Arc Network (Circle's stablecoin payment public chain) to align governance, incentives, and economic benefits, and to gradually transition it to a PoS system. We hope to announce more details in the near future."

According to Odaily, Trump retweeted a Washington Post article stating that during a meeting with Iranian officials in Islamabad, the US ordered destroyers to the Persian Gulf to impose a military blockade on all traffic entering and leaving Iranian ports. This action aims to cut off Iran's oil exports and energy revenues. According to Miad Maleki, a former official at the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, this will cause Iran approximately $435 million in economic losses daily. Currently, the US Navy is using the ceasefire period to clear Iranian-laid mines and establish safe passage for international escort missions. If Iran refuses to open the strait to all ships, the US will use military force to force passage and prohibit Iranian-flagged vessels from passing. A report from US Central Command indicates that in the initial military operations, the US and Israel have destroyed 80% of Iran's air defense systems, 90% of its naval forces, and 80% of its nuclear industrial bases.
