Iran's officials have been engaged in discussions regarding future maritime navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that the US President has suggested could be America's territory. The 60-day memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, aimed at brokering a peace deal and halting the ongoing conflict that began on February 28, is set to expire on Monday.
Donald Trump, the US President, has threatened to bomb Oman, its ally, if it obstructs his efforts to achieve control over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has signalled its readiness to escalate military tensions if peace talks with the US fail to yield a resolution. President Trump's comments came after Iran accused the US of repeatedly breaching the terms of the MOU, with Tehran insisting that all provisions must be implemented within a short period for further negotiations to proceed.
