President Donald Trump said Iran had violated the ceasefire by firing shots in the Strait of Hormuz, adding that Washington was offering a fair deal and that US representatives will arrive in Islamabad on Monday for negotiations with Tehran.
The USS Gerald Ford has left the Mediterranean and is now operating in the Red Sea, CNN reported, citing US officials. The move is meant to strengthen military readiness in case attacks on Iran resume if the ceasefire is not extended.
US President Donald Trump shared videos on Truth Social showing Iranian-Americans and Iranians expressing thanks and support for US action against Iran, before posting another image saying: “The best is yet to come.”
Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said the Strait of Hormuz remains fully under Iranian control and warned that any further US naval movement, including mine-clearing operations, would be treated as a ceasefire violation and could be met with force.
US Central Command said its naval forces are enforcing a blockade on Iranian ports and that the operation has completely halted Iran’s maritime trade, while the USS Rushmore is conducting blockade operations in the Arabian Sea.
Iran has said it will not send any enriched uranium material to the United States and remains opposed to direct talks for now, while also insisting new rules for the Strait of Hormuz will be part of any negotiations.
