Trump announced ongoing negotiations with Iran but warned of potential strikes on Iran's energy and infrastructure if no agreement is reached and the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked. Iran, however, denied any substantial progress, labeling U.S. proposals as unrealistic. Meanwhile, the Middle East conflict has entered its fifth week, with over 3,000 casualties reported. The ongoing tensions have kept international oil prices high at approximately $115 per barrel, contributing to uncertainty in global shipping and energy markets.
