US President Donald Trump has reiterated that the blockade on Iran will continue until a comprehensive deal is reached regarding its nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route for global oil. Despite Iran's announcement of reopening the strait, it has threatened to close it again if the US blockade persists. Trump warned that without a deal, military action might be necessary, stating, "...we'll have to start dropping bombs again." The US Central Command reported that 21 ships have been sent back to Iran since the blockade's initiation. Meanwhile, a fragile ceasefire between Israel and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group appears to be holding, which could influence ongoing negotiations between the US and Iran. Trump indicated that direct talks could resume soon, with both sides expressing a desire to reach an agreement. However, the situation remains tense as Iran's Foreign Minister suggested that shipping routes would still require Iranian approval, casting doubt on the extent of freedom for vessels in the strait.
