Iran has placed 77 vessels on a non-compliance list, raising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. This development follows stalled talks over the waterway. Houthi forces have launched new attacks on Saudi targets, including air strikes in several cities. Saudi civil defense reported attack threats but later said the threat was over in six locations. Vessel flow through Hormuz has fallen to a new low amid rising tensions. The list adds to concerns about safe passage in the region.
