Tensions remain high as Iran partially reopened the Strait of Hormuz under strict authorizations. Iranian officials continue to reject US demands to curb nuclear activities while insisting sanctions must be lifted.

Iran has partially reopened the Strait of Hormuz, but only under strict authorisation and designated routes, as tensions with the US continue. While Pakistan tries to organise new talks, Iranian officials insist sanctions must be lifted and reject US demands to end nuclear activities, even as both sides maintain pressure through military and economic threats.
