Iran war: US, Iran say peace deal near despite Hormuz attacks

Article excerpt

Donald Trump claims a peace deal with Iran is imminent, yet the Strait of Hormuz remains a flashpoint with ongoing attacks threatening global commerce. The announcement comes after years of failed diplomatic efforts and broken promises on both sides. Despite rhetoric about resolution, military tensions persist in one of the world's most economically vital shipping lanes. The conflict continues to hold the global economy hostage, with no clear path to de-escalation visible on the ground even as officials signal progress at the negotiating table.
