Iran closes Strait of Hormuz as US-Iran ceasefire deadline approaches and negotiations stall
Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again amid a standoff with the United States over a US blockade of Iranian ports and disputes over nuclear negotiations. President Trump convened a Situation Room meeting on Saturday with senior cabinet members to discuss the renewed crisis. A two-week ceasefire is set to expire Wednesday, with no confirmed date for a new round of US-Iran talks.
