Battleship Missouri to patrol Hormuz as Gulf escort plan unfolds
Pentagon officials say the battleship Missouri will deploy to the Persian Gulf with three smaller ships to patrol near the Strait of Hormuz. It will not escort Kuwaiti tankers at first, but stand by to attack if Iran fires Silkworm missiles. The force, including Constellation air cover and Aegis cruisers, aims to shield oil shipments while tankers are re-flagged as U.S. ships under American command.

OPEC near accord on oil production plan Vienna talks aim to curb price drop
In Vienna Libyan oil minister Fawzi Shakshaki said five key OPEC members agreed on main elements of a plan to keep late year production lower than previously planned. The revised ceiling would rise to 16.6 million barrels per day on July 1, with earlier 15.8 million limit from January canceled. Madrid talks between the United States and Spain ended without agreement on future U S bases, though officials expect a deal before the November deadline for renewing a 30-year treaty.
