LONDON/MAMANA/DUBAI, June 25 (Reuters) – The U.N. International Maritime Organization paused its operation to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday after a vessel reported an attack, reigniting fears over a preliminary deal to end the Iran war.

The cargo ship said it was hit close to Oman by a projectile, British navy agency UKMTO said, hours after Tehran warned vessels against taking routes that it had not approved.

Two U.S. officials told Reuters that Iran had fired on the ship, while Iran‘s Persian Gulf Strait Authority, which Tehran established to manage requests for ships to travel through the strait, said vessels outside routes it has set will not be guaranteed safe passage.

Four sources identified the ship as the Singapore-flagged Ever Lovely. A security source said it was likely targeted by a drone.

There was no immediate comment from the U.S. government. U.S. President Donald Trump warned earlier this month that if Iran did not honor an agreement aimed at ending the war and reopening the strait that the U.S. would probably go back to bombing the country again.

MANAMA/DUBAI, June 25 (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told [Persian] Gulf allies on Thursday that any deal with Iran would take their interests into account, as he wrapped up a Middle East trip aimed at winning over regional partners with deep reservations about the preliminary accord.

Speaking at a meeting of [Persian] Gulf Arab foreign ministers in Bahrain — home to the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet — Rubio said Washington was seeking an enduring peace with long-time foe Iran that would not come at the expense of the security of allies in the oil-rich region, many of whom see the deal as too soft after coming under Iranian attack during the conflict.

Iran fought two of the world’s most powerful armies — the U.S. and Israel — during the conflict and took effective control of the vital Strait of Hormuz, heavily disrupting oil flows and rattling global energy markets and the wider economy.

He told reporters that [Persian] Gulf allies shared some very serious concerns and that they wanted to be informed of every step of the peace accord, which includes provisions on Hormuz.

WASHINGTON, June 25 (Reuters) – Iran fired on a cargo ship that had reported earlier on Thursday being hit by a projectile as it attempted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, two U.S. officials told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The ship reported being struck on its starboard side by a projectile 7.5 nautical miles southeast of Oman’s port of Dahit, British navy agency UKMTO said.

SEATTLE, June 24 (Reuters) – Egypt and Iran both go into their final group game on Friday with good chances of progress, but geopolitical tensions between Iran and co-hosts the United States — plus the nations’ unease over local Pride celebrations — loom large over the match.

A first World Cup win for seven-times African champions Egypt, 92 years after their debut, put them in charge though Iran‘s dogged performances in draws with Belgium and New Zealand means victory could also see them top Group G.

The match will, however, be overshadowed by global events as the U.S. and Iran seek to negotiate a lasting peace to the war launched by U.S. and Israeli strikes in February, which quickly spiralled into a regional conflict.

Iran has had to grapple with travel restrictions, which coach Amir Ghalenoei said made them the tournament’s “most oppressed team”, though the U.S. said this week that Iran would be allowed to travel two days before the game instead of one.

The tensions are made all the more acute by the fact that Iran winning the group potentially sets up a clash with the U.S. on July 6 for a place in the quarter-finals.

Long before that, though, Team Melli must overcome Egypt, who are buoyed by how they came from behind to beat New Zealand and assume control of a group which Belgium had been heavy favorites to win.

Egypt know a point is likely enough to top the group, which could tempt them to fall back into their familiar defensive mode despite letting loose in the second half against New Zealand.

The opportunity is there, though, to secure a last-32 game in Seattle against a third-placed team on July 1, possibly followed by a last-16 tie in the city, with Egypt based in nearby Spokane.

By Kayhan Life Staff
June 24 - Tens of billions of dollars in earnings from Iranian exports have yet to be paid into the country’s coffers, according to Islamic Republic officials.

Zabihullah Khodaeian, the head of Iran’s General Inspection Organization (GIO), said in a June 21 press conference that more than 94 billion euros ($107 billion) in foreign currency earnings, mainly from oil sales, still awaited repatriation.

Of that total, 53 billion euros were linked to three state-owned companies — the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC), and the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company (NIORDC) — though “a significant portion of these discrepancies have now been clarified,” he added.

Analysts say that more than a third of foreign currency revenues from Iranian oil sales fail to return to the country. They blame institutional corruption in the Islamic Republic of Iran, involving various branches of the legislative and executive bodies, oversight institutions, and the judiciary.

Other factors behind the non-return of revenues from oil and petrochemical exports are oil sanctions and the existence of informal or illegal networks — including those operated by the IRGC — to bypass them.

The failure to fulfill foreign exchange obligations and the non-return of export earnings to Iran’s economy are among the factors contributing to declining foreign currency revenues, rising inflation, increased exchange rates, shortages of funds for importing essential goods, and a weakening of the national currency, analysts explain.

Khodaiean cited the lack of a robust system for issuing “trade cards” as a key reason for the failure of return of foreign currency and for currency-related violations in foreign trade.
