Middle East Conflict – Daily Neptune P2P Group update 060 (1800h GST 30 April)

Headlines. Escalation planning accelerates as CENTCOM prepares to brief Trump on strike options, a potential US seizure of Hormuz, or a special forces mission to secure Iran’s HEU. Trump signals readiness for a prolonged blockade following a call with Putin, who warns renewed fighting would have severe global consequences, as oil prices jump. Iran responds with escalating maritime threats, internal pressure mounts as the rial hits record lows, and Tehran hardens its line that nuclear talks will only resume once the blockade is lifted.
