Share on:

The situation in the Strait of Hormuz remains tense, with the US and Iran exchanging accusations and disputing the ceasefire. According to CNN, US President Donald Trump declined to confirm the validity of the ceasefire.

Iranian state media reported that the country struck a US warship, while the Pentagon denied any damage to a US Navy ship. Abbas Araghchi, Iranian Foreign Minister, stated that there is no military solution to the crisis.

The US announced that it attacked Iranian speedboats, while the United Arab Emirates reported an attack with Iranian missiles. Kir Starmer, the British Prime Minister, condemned the Iranian attacks. The Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed, causing an increase in oil prices.

Diplomatic efforts, mediated by Pakistan, continue. Meanwhile, Iran's nuclear program remains under close monitoring by the US and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
