The United States said there is no fixed timeline to end the conflict with Iran. The White House said President Donald Trump has not set any new deadline for a ceasefire. Iran’s chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said reopening the Strait of Hormuz is “not possible” due to repeated ceasefire breaches by the US and Israel. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the US blockade and “breach of commitments” are blocking talks. Iran also said it attacked three cargo ships and seized two. With both sides firm, the situation remains at a stalemate. (PC: BBC)
