Trump accused Iranian leaders of 'double standards' as he warned Iran that it must either reach a deal or face total surrender, according to a report from Samaa TV. The remarks came as the U.S. president signaled a potential agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to global oil shipments, which could ease tensions with Iran (samaa.tv).
Iran has denied holding direct negotiations with the United States, instead focusing on talks with Oman to establish a temporary route through the Strait of Hormuz, as reported by Ca.News Yahoo. The country also reaffirmed its support for Hamas, despite U.S. efforts to disarm the group, according to Fox News.
Meanwhile, oil prices dropped as Trump delayed any potential strikes against Iran, signaling a shift toward peace talks, according to FoxBusiness. Al Jazeera noted that an Iran-Oman deal could bring the U.S. and Iran back to the negotiating table, despite Trump's earlier claim that an agreement was imminent.
The situation remains tense, with Trump pushing for a resolution while Iran continues to assert its position, highlighting the complex dynamics of ongoing diplomatic efforts.
