    OfficialShipping, energy & marketsBackgroundDuqm and Musandam, Oman

    Oman's news agency said two drones targeted the commercial port of Duqm, one hitting workers' housing and injuring a foreign worker. Oman's Maritime Security Centre then said the Palau-flagged tanker Skylight was attacked about 5 nautical miles off Musandam; four of its 20 crew were wounded and all were evacuated.

    Why it matters CBS and AFP called them the first suspected Iranian strikes on Oman, the mediator of the U.S.-Iran talks, and Duqm is a U.S. Navy logistics hub outside the Strait of Hormuz.

    Under Iran's constitution, a council of President Masoud Pezeshkian, judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei and a Guardian Council jurist took over the supreme leader's duties; security chief Ali Larijani said it would be formed Sunday, and state media named cleric Alireza Arafi as the third member. The Assembly of Experts must choose a new leader "as soon as possible."

    Why it matters The council kept a constitutional chain of command in place under bombardment, and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said a new supreme leader could be chosen "in a day or two."

    Why it matters The death made the UAE, which had tried to stay out of a U.S.-Iran fight, a direct casualty of the war and hardened Gulf opinion against Tehran.

    Why it matters The order set U.S. carrier groups, strike crews and air defenses moving toward an operation that began about nine and a half hours later, with technical talks still planned for the following week.

    U.S.-Iran talks in Geneva end with "significant progress" and no deal, Oman says

    Oman's foreign minister Badr al-Busaidi said the third round of indirect talks between U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and Iran's Abbas Araghchi had ended with "significant progress" and would resume soon, with technical talks in Vienna the following week. Araghchi called it one of the "most intense and longest" rounds.

    Why it matters Neither Washington nor Tehran gave a readout, and analysts had warned that ending without a deal could trigger U.S. military action; two days later the strikes began.
