Trump indicates deal on Strait of Hormuz near despite denying direct Iran talks

United States President Donald Trump announced that an agreement regarding the Strait of Hormuz could be reached shortly, while clarifying that no direct negotiations with Iran are scheduled. Trump warned that Tehran would face military action if it interferes with transit plans, reiterating that Iran must not acquire nuclear weapons.

In response, Iranian officials asserted that the strategic waterway will stay closed until Washington alters its policy, denying direct talks while continuing discussions with Oman on safe maritime transit. Meanwhile, regional tensions persisted as Hamas agreed to the second phase of a U.S. peace proposal, though Israel maintained that Hamas must completely disarm before any Israeli military withdrawal occurs.
