Trump says Strait of Hormuz deal near despite lack of direct Iran talks

United States President Donald Trump stated that an agreement to secure the Strait of Hormuz could be finalized within days, despite confirming no direct negotiations with Iran are scheduled. Trump warned that "nothing will get through to Iran" unless a deal or surrender occurs, reiterating threats of military action if Tehran or mediator Oman disrupt U.S. maritime objectives.

Concurrently, Iranian officials stated talks with Oman are focused on establishing safe shipping corridors. However, Tehran insisted the strait remains closed until Washington changes its diplomatic conduct, adding the route will not revert to pre-war conditions.

Separately, Hamas accepted a proposed second phase of regional peace efforts, though Israel insisted on total disarmament before withdrawing forces.
