Iran Rejects Trump’s Claim of Hormuz Reopening Deal

Iran Rejects Trump’s Claim of Hormuz Reopening Deal

A U.S. president said he had a deal with Iran to open a busy sea route called the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran said no such deal was made and that the route will stay closed while the U.S. keeps hostile actions.

The U.S. had planned attacks on Iran but paused them after Iran and other countries asked for more time.

Saudi Arabia’s king talked with the U.S. president about talking instead of fighting.

Iran’s military says it is ready for war if the U.S. attacks again.

The U.S. and Iran are still talking, but the sea route is still shut.

The U.S. wants the route open for ships, while Iran wants it closed until the U.S. stops hostile actions.

Both sides are waiting for a final agreement.

The situation is tense and could change if either side changes its stance.
