Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei pushed back, stating the country will protect its nuclear and missile capabilities, according to state media. The report said both sides remain locked in a stalemate over uranium enrichment.
Meanwhile, Trump has intensified pressure through economic measures, including a naval blockade targeting Iranian ports and the Strait of Hormuz. Nearly 40 ships have reportedly been intercepted.
According to sources, military options are also under consideration. With oil prices surging and threats escalating, the risk of renewed conflict remains high if negotiations fail.
