UAE oil tanker missing in Strait of Hormuz after drifting into Iranian waters
An oil tanker traveling through the tiny strip of water located in the mouth of the Persian Gulf stopped transmitting its location more than two days ago when it drifted into Iranian waters. It is not clear what happened to the Panamanian-flagged oil tanker – which is based in the United Arab Emirates – on Saturday night as it traveled through the Strait of Hormuz, but its apparent disappearance has raised concerns amid heightened tensions between Iran and several Western nations.

Re: Update on Iran - July 16
Iran hit back at US President Donald Trump's call for new nuclear negotiations that encompass its ballistic missiles programme, accusing Washington of bringing the Middle East to the brink of "explosion" by selling arms to allies in the Gulf.
Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran's foreign minister, made the comments in a wide-ranging interview that aired on NBC News on Monday.

MY TAKE: Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran's foreign minister said they are willing to sit down and negotiate with President Trump if he lifts all sanctions against Iran. In my opinion, there is a 99% chance that Trump won't lift the sanctions. If he did, Iran would come to the table but never agree to a new deal where they give up their nukes and their ballistic missile program. Remember that the terrible nuke deal signed by Obama took years of negotiations and the U.S got nothing, but we did send $billions to the world's most aggressive sponsor of terrorism. The current sanctions are crushing Iran and they will eventually do something really stupid. What are the odds of Israel allowing Iran to keep enriching uranium?
