Iran has denied any progress in efforts to revive a previous interim deal with the United States, according to an Iranian government source. The claim comes as U.S. President Donald Trump asserts that American forces are in full control of the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway in the Persian Gulf.
The Iranian official emphasized that discussions to reestablish the 2016 agreement, which temporarily eased sanctions in exchange for limited nuclear concessions, have not advanced. This follows Trump’s recent remarks about the situation with Iran being “going fine,” which has drawn criticism from Iranian officials.
Meanwhile, tensions remain high in the region, with reports of clashes between Israeli settlers and the local population in the West Bank. The Israeli military has surrounded a Christian town, raising concerns about the ongoing conflict.
Separately, an Iranian military adviser noted that the U.S. Military appears weaker than previously believed, following attacks by the U.S. And Israel in February. This assessment highlights the evolving dynamics of regional power.
