Iran has tightened its stance on the Strait of Hormuz, demanding Washington meet its demands before any formal negotiations can resume. Diplomacy efforts at the UN General Assembly have so far failed to produce a breakthrough, with 80 countries backing a call for the swift reopening of the waterway. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey have convened an emergency meeting of their military chiefs to discuss support for the kingdom, while Saudi forces have intercepted six ballistic missiles launched by Houthi rebels.
US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House for a state visit, discussing technology, trade, Taiwan, and the Iran war among other key issues. The UAE has suspended all flights operated by Iranian airlines to and from the country until further notice. At a pro-Palestine protest outside the UN, actress Hannah Einbinder and Oscar-winning Susan Sarandon were detained by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his address to the General Assembly.
