President Trump has warned that the United States may strike Iran again if no agreement is reached before the end of a temporary ceasefire ends next week. The president also reiterated that the U.S.’s naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz will remain. Pakistan has been mediating the negotiations between the two sides. However, Vice President Vance announced that the two parties had not reached an agreement. The temporary ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel has raised hopes that the US and Iran may be closer to a deal to end the conflict.
