印度食品监管机构已向全球最大洋酒公司帝亚吉欧发出通知，警告其关于一款本土威士忌品牌“在美国橡木桶中熟成”的说法具有误导性。

UAE foreign ministry said using the Strait of Hormuz as a tool for coercion or extortion constitutes piracy by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Iranian foreign minister Araghchi said on Aug. 8 Tehran is negotiating with Oman on a legal and management framework and on defining vessel transit routes through the Strait of Hormuz, and that the two sides are very close to an agreement. Reopening or return to normal transit remains conditional, including on the US making reparations for breaches of a US‑Iran memorandum, Araghchi said. Iran rejects the previous lane system as unsuitable and is pressing for a new navigation mechanism; negotiators are discussing a temporary transit lane to form the basis of a formal route, and military authorities from both countries are consulting existing charts pending final agreement.
