Iran US War LIVE: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed Iran wants US to open the Strait of Hormuz “as soon as possible” and added that the country informed that it is in a “State of Collapse”. Trump’s claims comes on a day when the US national security team is reviewing an Iranian proposal to halt the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz while delaying nuclear talks. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg and said Tehran is weighing a US request to restart negotiations. At the UN, dozens of nations urged the “urgent and unimpeded reopening” of the Strait, with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warning the standoff risks a global food emergency.
Meanwhile, Israel and Hezbollah kept trading fire, pushing the death toll in Lebanon past 40 since the April 17 “ceasefire.”

Earlier, Araghchi said “excessive” US demands led to the failure of recent negotiations between the two countries despite progress, according to Iranian state media reports. “The US approaches caused the previous round of negotiations, despite progress, to fail to reach its goals because of the excessive demands,” Araghchi said. He also said that “safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz is an important global issue.” Fighting and political signalling continue across multiple fronts, with no immediate sign of de-escalation despite renewed diplomatic outreach.
