Trump indicates deal on Strait of Hormuz could be reached imminently

US President Donald Trump stated an agreement on the Strait of Hormuz could be reached soon, while Tehran denied direct talks with Washington.
United States President Donald Trump stated that an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be reached imminently, potentially within one or two days. However, Iranian officials reiterated that Tehran is not engaging in direct negotiations with Washington and insisted the vital waterway will remain closed until the US alters its policy stance.
According to Iranian representatives, recent talks held in Oman are strictly focused on establishing secure maritime corridors for commercial shipping rather than broader diplomatic concessions. Tehran also warned of possible offensive actions should diplomatic efforts collapse. The developments coincide with reports of a commercial vessel being struck inside the strategic passage.
