U.S. President Donald Trump claimed during a visit to Ireland that the conflict with Iran will soon come to an end, asserting that oil prices will decrease and traffic through the Strait of Hormuz will be restored. This statement comes amid ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran, which have escalated since February 28, 2026, following a series of military actions.
An Iranian official stated that no formal agreement was reached during a meeting with Oman on Monday, indicating that diplomatic efforts remain stalled. The official also noted that U.S. President Trump had criticized Iran over the lack of progress in nuclear negotiations.
Meanwhile, Iran has celebrated recent victories by the Houthis in Yemen, particularly their control over the Red Sea coast. However, Iranian officials have not announced any immediate plans to close the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, despite the strategic importance of the region.
The situation remains fluid, with no clear timeline for resolution. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil shipments, continues to be a focal point of international concern.
