• US-Iran talks: The US and Iran have a long way to go before reaching an agreement, Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf told state television. President Donald Trump said negotiations were still progressing but hinted at frustration with Tehran, saying “they got a little cute.”
• Strait closure: Vessel traffic on the Strait of Hormuz remains paralyzed, following Iran’s announcement that it was again closing the vital waterway, alleging US “breaches of trust.”
