Material Change Summary: Iran’s seven-day proposal and reported U.S. rejection hardened the diplomatic gap; no new verified direct strike was identified.

Unvalidated Claims: Reported U.S. intent to resume bombing after the November elections remains attributed and not independently confirmed.
Corrections: None.
Operational Significance: Diplomacy did not resolve the maritime chokepoint, leaving shipping and escalation risk high.
