Trump signals possible Hormuz agreement as tensions persist over maritime transit

Trump signals a potential Strait of Hormuz deal, while Iran insists on US policy changes and Israel demands Hamas disarm before withdrawing.
U.S. President Donald Trump indicated a potential agreement regarding the Strait of Hormuz could be finalized soon, despite clarifying that no direct negotiations between Washington and Tehran are currently scheduled. Trump reaffirmed that Iran will not be permitted to obtain nuclear weapons, while warning of potential military action if American objectives in the region are obstructed.
Tehran maintained that the strategic waterway will remain closed until the United States alters its policy, though Iranian officials noted ongoing discussions with Oman to establish safe maritime routes for commercial shipping. Concurrently in the region, Hamas announced its acceptance of the second phase of a U.S.-proposed framework, while Israel reiterated that full Hamas disarmament remains a prerequisite for any military withdrawal.
