Trump signals potential agreement on Strait of Hormuz as Iran denies direct U.S. talks

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that an agreement regarding the Strait of Hormuz could be reached within days, warning that no shipments will enter Iran without a deal or surrender. Trump emphasized that Tehran must not obtain nuclear arms and threatened military escalation if maritime plans are hindered.

Conversely, Iranian officials asserted that the strait will stay closed until Washington alters its policy, denying any direct negotiations with the United States. Tehran indicated that ongoing discussions with Oman focus strictly on establishing safe transit routes for shipping. The diplomatic friction occurs alongside reports of another vessel being struck in the strategic waterway.
