President Trump said Tuesday that there is no ongoing dialogue with Iran to end the war, and no discussions scheduled. His son-in-law and envoy Jared Kushner told Fox News on Monday that Iran is “not showing any interest” in striking a deal that “makes sense” for the United States. Nearly six months into the conflict, the U.S. and Iran remain locked in a standoff over control over the Strait of Hormuz.
A commercial vessel was struck by an “unknown projectile” while transiting the strait on Tuesday, according to the British military, resulting in one casualty and causing damage to an engine room.
The U.S. ambassador to Turkey chastised Israel on Tuesday for carrying out strikes on a Syrian airbase, saying they “constitute an unnecessary escalation that does not advance regional stability.”
