Live updates: Iran war, Iran warns American forces in Strait of Hormuz will be attacked if US guides ships

Key Points:

• The US and Iran agreed to a ceasefire nearly a month ago, with ongoing negotiations marked by intermittent talks in Islamabad and fluctuating positions on key issues such as Iran’s nuclear program and control of the Strait of Hormuz.
• The US implemented a blockade of Iranian ports and announced it would guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz, despite Iranian warnings that such actions violate the ceasefire and threats to close the strait again.
• Iran has submitted multiple proposals, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz, but the US, led by President Trump, has rejected these offers citing insufficient guarantees on nuclear program restrictions.
• Tensions remain high with incidents reported in the Strait of Hormuz involving attacks on vessels, and both sides have expressed frustration over the slow progress and trust issues in negotiations.
• The conflict has had broader impacts, including significant damage to Iranian infrastructure, rising US gas prices, and casualties from related regional conflicts, while diplomatic efforts continue amid complex geopolitical dynamics.
