In Brief…

• Trump said on Wednesday on the Glenn Beck program that he did not think Iran’s Supreme Leader was dead, but said he had been seriously wounded.
• The US naval blockade is forcing Iranian-flagged oil tankers to remain away from Iranian ports, with at least 20 empty vessels now anchored off Sri Lanka after completing ship-to-ship transfers of Iranian crude in Southeast Asia, United Against Nuclear Iran said on Tuesday.
• Britain said it would continue working with the United States and other partners to increase economic pressure on Iran, while backing US efforts to secure a diplomatic solution.
• US President Donald Trump said the US Navy had removed or detonated all mines in international waters of the Strait of Hormuz, warning that any vessel laying new mines would be “immediately and systematically destroyed.”
