Will the Latest Strike in the Strait of Hormuz Impact the US-Iran Deal?
The strike delayed a U.N. aid mission and exposed divisions over whether the Strait of Hormuz will stay open and toll-free.
- An Iranian drone struck a commercial ship in Hormuz on Thursday, halting traffic and testing the fragile American-Iran deal aimed at ending hostilities.
- This incident occurred one week into the 60-day period during which American and Iranian officials are working to finalize an agreement that relies on keeping Hormuz open.
- Iran stated it cannot guarantee the safety of ships avoiding approved lanes, calling the arrangement "unacceptable," prompting the United Nations to postpone a mission assisting ships in the Persian Gulf.
- "They wanna make a deal with us very badly, and we probably will," President Donald Trump said, expressing confidence in negotiations as oil prices drop.
- Despite face-to-face talks earlier this week, American and Iranian officials remain publicly divided on whether Hormuz will be toll-free, while gas prices remain about a dollar higher than before the war.
