UKMTO: 2 vessels sustained minor damage from drones. Bahrain also condemned. Iran had not publicly claimed responsibility. Second attack on ADNOC vessels in a week following last Sat missile strike. ADNOC now reports 15 vessels attacked total since start of war, 3 this weekZOLFAGHARI (spokesman for highest Iranian military command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central HQ) Thu: American claims that ships pass through strait normally are "false" and reflect "desperation and helplessness" of American military.

THE FIRST SECRET: BLOOM the curry powder in the butter for a full minute before adding flour - wakes up the spices.
