Iran disputes claims of new agreements with Trump
Iran said passage through the waterway will require its approval after U.S. forces turned back 21 ships, highlighting the risk to a route carrying about 20% of global oil.
- On Saturday, Iran resumed 'strict management' of the Strait of Hormuz, reversing a brief reopening following the continued U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports.
- The reversal followed failed diplomatic efforts, as Tehran maintains the waterway will remain closed until Washington lifts restrictions, while the U.S. insists the blockade will 'remain in full force' until a transaction is complete.
- Iranian Revolutionary Guard gunboats fired on vessels transiting the strait Saturday, prompting about 20 commercial ships to turn back toward Oman amid fresh reports of violence.
- President Donald Trump warned Saturday that he may end the ceasefire if no deal is reached by Wednesday, stating the U.S. 'could be dropping bombs again.'
- With the ceasefire expiring April 21, negotiations are expected to continue next week in Pakistan, though Iran insists its 440kg uranium stockpile will not be transferred.
