President Donald Trump declared that the US military blockade would continue until Iran either made a deal or went for "total surrender." Follow DW for more.
US President Donald Trump has criticized Iran for being "duplicitous" and threatened that the country would not obtain a nuclear weapon unless it makes a deal or surrenders. The remarks come after Iran announced it was negotiating a joint temporary shipping corridor with Oman to address the backlog in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump asserted that the strait is already "completely controlled by the United States Navy" and that nothing gets through unless a deal or total surrender is accomplished.
Iran executed two men convicted of spying for Israel, the latest in a series of hangings on espionage allegations since the war with Israel and the US began in late February.
