17. A couple days ago I read Iran said the straight would be open for 10 days.

Sunday

And now I read Iranian Stance: Iran's chief negotiator and parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, stated that while there has been "deeper understanding," significant gaps remain on core issues like nuclear enrichment and the naval blockade. Following Trump's announcement, Iranian state media reported that Tehran currently has no plans to participate in this next round.

After briefly reopening the strait on Friday, Iran reclosed it on Saturday. Iranian officials stated the waterway will remain restricted to international tankers as long as the U.S. Navy maintains its blockade on Iranian ports.
