Iran announces the re-closure of the Strait of Hormuz 48 hours after reopening it, accusing the US of violating the deal. Trump claims a peace deal is near while negotiations stall over nuclear issues and blockade terms.
The Strait of Hormuz has been declared officially reopened to commercial shipping by Iran and confirmed by Trump, but underlying tensions persist. France and the UK have launched an independent joint naval mission outside NATO framework after Trump explicitly rejected NATO involvement in securing the strait.
