US President Donald Trump said there is no time pressure to end the war with Iran and that the US blockade of Iranian ports is effective. Trump told Fox News that there was 'no time pressure on this cease-fire extension' and that he was 'not in a rush.' White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed talks are ongoing and that Trump has made his red lines clear, stating Iran must not obtain a nuclear bomb and must hand over enriched uranium. Iran's military attacked and seized two container ships and fired on a third, prompting Iranian chief negotiator Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf to say reopening the Hormuz Strait is impossible amid 'flagrant' breaches of the cease-fire. The standoff continues with both sides enforcing maritime blockades, paralyzing commercial shipping. Iran's deputy speaker of parliament claimed funds from tolls paid by ships to transit the strait had been deposited into the country's central bank.
