US Iran War Live Updates Today: Diplomatic efforts between the United States and Iran appear to be gaining momentum amid wider attempts to ease tensions in the West Asia.
US President Donald Trump has indicated that unfrozen Iranian assets could be used to purchase American agricultural products, while negotiations between Israeli and Lebanese officials are set to resume in Washington under US mediation.
Meanwhile, the UN’s International Maritime Organization suspended its escort operations for commercial vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday after a ship reported coming under attack, raising fresh concerns about the fragile agreement aimed at ending the Iran conflict.
According to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), a cargo vessel reported being struck by a projectile near the coast of Oman.
The incident occurred just hours after Tehran warned ships against using routes that had not been authorised by Iranian authorities.
