Trump signals possible agreement on Strait of Hormuz as Iran threatens Gulf energy targets

U.S. President Donald Trump indicated a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be reached shortly, following mediated negotiations between Iran and Oman regarding safe maritime corridors. Tehran seeks authority over shipping traffic entering and exiting the waterway, including intervention powers.

However, regional tensions persist. Iran warned it would launch destructive strikes against Gulf state energy facilities if Washington carries out new military actions against Iranian interests. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi initiated urgent talks with Saudi Arabia following U.S. warnings regarding Iran's power grid.

In related developments, an Indian vessel was hit and sunk off Yemen's coast. Concurrently, Israeli and Lebanese representatives convened in Rome for a seventh round of peace talks, as an estimated 800,000 displaced Lebanese individuals began returning to southern areas.
