The Latest: Trump hints at resuming attacks if ceasefire with Iran expires without a deal
Read Original Source
Iran reversed its decision to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and fired on a tanker attempting to pass the waterway on Saturday. It also warned that it would continue to block transit through the strait as long as the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports remained in effect. Confusion over the critical chokepoint threatened to deepen the energy crisis roiling the global economy and push the two countries toward renewed conflict, even as mediators expressed confidence a new deal was within reach.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Trump said the U.S. could resume attacks if the Iran ceasefire and talks do not produce a deal, as tensions rose again over the Strait of Hormuz and fighting in Lebanon continued.
Key Points:
- Iran briefly reopened the Strait of Hormuz, then said it was closing it again and warned it would target vessels that tried to pass.
- Iran’s forces fired on a tanker in the strait, and Indian officials said two Indian-flagged ships had to turn back after the shooting.
- Trump said the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports would stay in place until Iran reaches a deal that includes its nuclear program.
- The fighting in Lebanon and Gaza continued to cause deaths, while mediators said U.S.-Iran talks were still moving forward.
