US-Iran War LIVE: Explosions heard at Dubai's Jebel Ali Industrial area, report claims
US-Iran War LIVE: US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has claimed that media reports saying Washington's missile stockpile is ‘dangerously low’ as not true. Iran has said that negotiations with Oman alone would not be sufficient to restore normal operations in the Strait of Hormuz.
US-Iran tensions escalated on Wednesday as explosions were reported in Dubai's Jebel Ali industrial area. Iran claimed that talks with Oman alone would not suffice to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing that broader conditions must be met for safe maritime navigation. US President Donald Trump suggested a deal to partially open the strategic waterway could be reached as early as Wednesday.
Iran and Oman are currently negotiating to open the Strait of Hormuz and potentially prevent further escalation of the war. However, conflicting signals from US officials and concerns over outside interference from US partners raised doubts in Tehran about the negotiations' progress. Meanwhile, Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels attacked two Saudi oil tankers, one off the Red Sea port of Yanbu and the other in the Gulf of Aden, further straining maritime tensions in the region.
