U.S. Central Command Redirects 129 Merchant Vessels in Strait of Hormuz on June 6

According to U.S. Central Command, on June 6, the military redirected 129 merchant vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and disabled six additional ships amid escalating tensions. The command noted that any Iranian attack on U.S. vessels would violate the ceasefire agreement.

According to CNN and Axios, the U.S.-Iran ceasefire negotiations remain deadlocked over two key issues: the release of $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets and disagreements on uranium enrichment timelines. Presidential envoys Kushner and Witkoff met with nuclear experts on Thursday to prepare for potential nuclear talks with Iran.
