In recent statements, US President Donald Trump indicated that negotiations with Iran regarding a potential agreement will not be rushed, despite rising expectations for a resolution to the ongoing conflict. Trump announced on Truth Social that the US blockade on Iranian vessels in the Strait of Hormuz will continue until a formal agreement is reached, certified, and signed. He emphasized the importance of taking the necessary time to ensure the deal is satisfactory for both parties. Meanwhile, issues remain unresolved, with Iran reportedly insisting on the release of frozen funds as a condition for any agreement. The situation is further complicated by rising tensions in Lebanon, where US Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused Hezbollah of attempting to destabilize the country. Rubio criticized the group’s calls for citizens to overthrow the democratically elected government, highlighting the precarious political situation in the region. With no official response from Iran yet, the prospect of a breakthrough in negotiations appears uncertain, and regional stability remains at risk.
