US President Donald Trump stated an agreement on the Strait of Hormuz could be reached soon, while Iran warned of offensive actions if diplomatic channels fail.

US President Donald Trump has indicated that an agreement regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz could be finalized within a day or two, despite confirming that direct negotiations between Washington and Tehran are not taking place.

Iran's Foreign Ministry clarified that its talks with Omani intermediaries remain narrowly focused on establishing safe maritime routes for commercial shipping. However, Iranian officials warned that Tehran is prepared to shift to offensive measures should diplomatic channels fail to yield results.

The developments follow security incidents in the region, including reports of a commercial ship being struck in the strategic corridor, alongside broader regional tensions.
