Iran War: Iran - Work on conditions for reopening of the Hormuz passage

Iran's security chief Mohsen Resai denies reports of a plot to assassinate US President Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron Trump, calling them a lie. The US Secret Service had said it was aware of a video from Iranian state TV that suggested a possible attack. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that anyone trading with Iran would face the full force of US power, aiming to cut off Iran's revenue sources.

The Israeli military struck targets in Gaza, including two Hamas weapon stores in mosques, after issuing evacuation warnings. Iran continues to threaten and attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz, a key passage for oil, gas, and fertilizer exports.
