1. Blasts Hit Iranian Port Cities on Hormuz Coast as US Moves to Cut Land Routes
-- Iranian state media reported explosions on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz and in the port cities of Jask, Sirik and Bandar Abbas, while Washington moved to block overland supply routes into Iran.
-- Qeshm sits inside the strait and Bandar Abbas hosts Iran's main naval base, so the coastline under attack is the naval war rather than the oil lanes alone; adding land crossings to the naval blockade squeezes imports from two directions and raises the price of Tehran's remaining bargaining positions. Brent at $97.19 still carries only a thin war premium.

2. Strikes Kill 27 in Village North of Sanaa as Yemen's Government Forces Advance
-- At least 27 people were killed in strikes on a village in Sanaa province, Houthi-run authorities said, as forces loyal to Yemen's internationally recognised government reported fresh advances on the ground.
-- The toll pushes deaths from strikes past 70 in under 48 hours, and the fighting on the ground decides who holds the districts where telecom towers and aid depots sit; Houthi retaliation has so far landed on Saudi ports and Red Sea shipping, which is where the insurance cost shows up first.
