  "summary": "US President Donald Trump said his administration had \"very good discussions\" with Iran during all-day negotiations. According to Trump, Iran had been asking for talks and had been lying publicly about ongoing negotiations.\n\nThe talks were focused on the Strait of Hormuz, a key conduit for global oil and gas supplies, which has been a sticking point in discussions. Trump said a deal to reopen the strait could happen soon, stating it could occur \"tomorrow or the next day\". He also warned Iran that if negotiations fell through, they would get \"hit very hard\".\n\nTrump reiterated that Tehran would not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. The US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, said there was a chance a deal could be reached by Wednesday or Thursday.",
