Iran has rejected US claims that it had opened the Strait of Hormuz to shipping.

Iran's security chief Mohsen Resai denies reports of a planned assassination attempt on 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 has warned that anyone trading with Iran will face the full force of US power, as the US aims to cut off Iran's revenue streams with new sanctions. The move is also expected to affect Tehran's trading partners.
