    Spain begins border checks on Italy amid Ceuta dispute

    Spain has started checking travellers arriving from Italy in retaliation for similar controls imposed by Rome. The measures followed a surge of migrants into Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta. Madrid says most of those migrants were quickly returned and accuses Italy of permitting “persistent irregular migration”. The European Union describes the tit-for-tat restrictions as temporary and says they will not have a lasting effect on the Schengen zone.

    Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen until the United States accepts Tehran’s conditions, including compensation for war damage. The force describes the strait as a theatre of war rather than merely a waterway and says the closure will continue until the enemy agrees to all demands. President Masoud Pezeshkian says this is the best moment for an agreement with Washington, portraying Iran as cohesive, powerful and victorious in the war. Oman condemns repeated attacks on vessels transiting the strait without assigning blame, while calling its shipping negotiations with Iran positive and constructive.

    Iran says negotiations with Oman on reopening the Strait of Hormuz are approaching their final stage. Tehran says reopening the waterway remains conditional on additional terms and compensation for what it describes as breaches of the June agreement. Its new demands include the lifting of a US naval blockade on the strait and Iranian ports, along with the withdrawal of US military forces from the area. Scott Lucas, a professor of international politics at University College Dublin’s Clinton Institute, provides further insight.
