U.S. President Trump signals potential deal to reopen Strait of Hormuz

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be finalized within days, stating "great progress has been made" in diplomatic discussions. Mediated by Oman, the negotiations focus on establishing secure maritime corridors while defining Iran's role in monitoring shipping traffic.

Despite potential progress on the waterway, regional security concerns persist. Tehran warned it would launch "devastating strikes" against Gulf state energy facilities if the U.S. carries out further attacks on Iranian targets, leading Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi to initiate urgent talks with Saudi Arabia. Concurrently, an Indian ship was struck and sunk off the Yemeni coast. In Italy, Israeli and Lebanese officials opened a seventh round of peace talks in Rome, while nearly 800,000 displaced Lebanese civilians started returning to the country's south.
