- Abbas Araghchi arrived in Russia on Monday to meet President Vladimir Putin and discuss war developments and ceasefire extensions.
- Russia is expected to play a key diplomatic role in both settlement and confrontation scenarios, according to Al Jazeera.
- US Central Command reported that American forces directed 38 ships to turn around, maintaining the blockade of Iranian ports.
Why it matters: Iran gains diplomatic leverage while the US loses shipping capacity; the blockade of 38 vessels delays oil flow, raising shipping costs and pressuring markets globally.
