Trump signals imminent deal on Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing regional tensions

U.S. President Donald Trump stated an agreement on reopening the Strait of Hormuz could be reached soon, while Iran threatened strikes on Gulf energy sites if attacked.
U.S. President Donald Trump indicated that an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be reached within days, citing "great progress" in mediated talks between Iran and Oman regarding maritime transit corridors. Iranian officials confirmed that negotiations focus on establishing safe passage for commercial shipping.
Security concerns remain high as Tehran warned of destructive retaliatory strikes against Persian Gulf energy infrastructure should Washington launch attacks against Iranian targets. In response to heightened tensions, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi initiated urgent diplomatic discussions with Saudi Arabia.
Concurrently, an Indian vessel sank off the coast of Yemen following an attack, while a seventh round of talks between Israeli and Lebanese delegations commenced in Rome amid the return of displaced civilians to southern Lebanon.
