  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has let the 60-day deadline for an Iran peace deal expire, threatening to bomb Oman if it interferes with US efforts to secure a deal. The memorandum of understanding signed on June 17 aimed to end the war and restore commercial navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, but negotiations stalled as both sides accused each other of violating the deal. Trump reiterated that preventing Iran from having a nuclear weapon remains non-negotiable, while suggesting the idea of declaring the waterway a US territory.",
