Latest Trump comments: President Donald Trump issued a new warning to Iran, saying the “bombing starts” again if they don’t come to an agreement, and it will be at a “higher level and intensity than it was before.”
• “Project Freedom” paused: Trump yesterday said the US will pause its effort to guide vessels through the Strait of Hormuz but will maintain its blockade of Iranian ports. Safe passage through the strait is possible under “new procedures” following the pause, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Navy said, according to Iranian media.
• China’s role: Iran’s top diplomat is in Beijing for the first face-to-face meeting of the two allies’ foreign ministers since the war began. China, a close partner of Iran and the biggest buyer of Tehran’s crude oil, has called for an end to the conflict. Trump will meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing next week.
