US officials confirmed the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz today, as Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth announced that vessels will soon resume sailing through this crucial waterway. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasised the need for ongoing efforts to ensure lasting peace.
Donald Trump has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran to either strike a deal or reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He warned of severe consequences if no agreement is reached, emphasising that “time is running out” before action will be taken.
