Iran has temporarily reopened the Strait of Hormuz following a US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, allowing a convoy of tankers to pass for the first time in seven weeks of war. US President Donald Trump has expressed optimism about ongoing weekend negotiations while warning that a ceasefire may not extend past Wednesday without a deal, as a US naval blockade on Iranian ports persists. Several of Trump's claims about negotiation progress are disputed by Iran and contradicted by reports.

A two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran, described as fragile, is set to expire this Wednesday, coinciding with a US naval blockade of Iranian ports and the seizure of an Iranian-flagged ship on Sunday. The US Navy fired on the ship Touska after it attempted to evade the blockade near the Strait of Hormuz. Details of ongoing negotiations remain unverified amid conflicting reports.
