US President Trump expresses optimism for a deal with Iran but threatens renewed military action as Strait of Hormuz negotiations continue.

The ongoing US-Iran conflict sees President Trump indicating a "good chance" of a deal while simultaneously warning of resumed military operations if negotiations fail. Iran has denied requesting new talks. This comes as the Strait of Hormuz remains a critical chokepoint, with ongoing talks between Iran and Oman to reopen the shipping route, and Houthi threats in the Red Sea further impacting Asian energy supplies.
