thebalanced.newsTrump Says No Rush on Iran Deal as US Maintains Strait of Hormuz Blockade
US President Donald Trump stated he is under no pressure to end the conflict with Iran, emphasizing that any deal will be made only when it is appropriate and beneficial for the US and its allies. He warned that Iran faces a ticking clock due to a strong naval blockade and degraded military capabilities. Trump claimed the US has total control over the Strait of Hormuz, which remains closed pending a lasting agreement. Iranian officials rejected claims of internal divisions and blamed the US blockade for the diplomatic impasse, insisting they will not submit to pressure. Meanwhile, a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon was extended by three weeks amid ongoing regional tensions.
