A Chinese maritime court has successfully mediated a dispute that had arisen from a collision between two foreign vessels near the Strait of Hormuz, China's Supreme People's Court (SPC) said on Monday.

The case involved claims reaching 180 million yuan (about $26.5 million) and the Antigua-and-Barbuda-flagged "Adalynn" and the Liberia-flagged "Front Eagle".

The two ships collided in June 2025, in waters near the Strait of Hormuz. While "Front Eagle" was undergoing repairs in Guangdong's Shenzhen, the owner of "Adalynn" applied to the Guangzhou Maritime Court (GMC) for an order to arrest the vessel. Both foreign parties agreed to have the GMC hear the case and selected Chinese law as the governing law for resolving the substantive issues in dispute.

Recent development in the negotiations indicated that U.S. President Donald Trump's options for walking away from the war against Iran have "narrowed," The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.

Trump for weeks "had been laying the groundwork to declare victory in the Iran war should Tehran fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, even floating the idea privately to senior aides that he's willing to walk away without a nuclear deal," the report cited U.S. officials as saying.
