  "account": "Iran has defiantly refused to relent on the strategic Strait of Hormuz, as President Donald Trump told Americans to accept the financial consequences of high fuel prices. Iran's deputy foreign minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, declared the strait would remain under Iranian control, while the U.S. president vowed to continue enforcing economic pressure on Tehran. The Strait of Hormuz, which previously saw over 130 vessels transit daily, is now virtually closed due to the ongoing conflict between Iran and the U.S. Only two ships passed through on Friday, raising concerns about the impact on global oil supplies. At the same time, the Houthis attacked an Aramco facility in Saudi Arabia, heightening tensions in the region. Despite these developments, there are no indications of resumed peace talks between Iran and the U.S.",
