Trump suggests imminent Hormuz deal as Iran maintains closure demands

U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that a resolution regarding the Strait of Hormuz could be reached within days, while maintaining there are no scheduled direct negotiations with Iran. Trump asserted that "nothing will pass" to Iran without a deal or surrender, reiterating that Tehran must not acquire nuclear weapons.

Concurrently, Tehran declared the strategic waterway will remain closed until Washington alters its policies, warning of offensive action if diplomacy fails. Iranian officials noted ongoing talks with Oman center strictly on establishing safe maritime corridors.

Meanwhile, broader peace efforts faced obstacles as Israel insisted on Hamas's complete disarmament before withdrawing troops from Gaza, despite Hamas accepting the second phase of a U.S.-backed proposal.
