US President Donald Trump signaled a potential Strait of Hormuz deal soon, despite issuing military threats as Iran rules out direct Washington talks.

United States President Donald Trump stated that a deal regarding the Strait of Hormuz could be finalized within days, even as he warned that nothing would enter Iran without an agreement or surrender. Trump also issued threats of military action against Iran and warned Oman over its independent negotiations with Tehran.

Iranian officials reiterated that no direct talks with Washington are planned and insisted the strategic passage will not return to pre-war conditions, warning of an offensive posture if diplomatic efforts fail. However, discussions between Tehran and Oman remain ongoing to establish secure maritime transit corridors.

In concurrent regional developments, Hamas reported accepting the second phase of a U.S. peace plan. Israel maintained its position, insisting on the complete disarmament of Hamas before withdrawing its military forces.
