Trump says US agreed to Iran's request to continue talks, but ceasefire is over
- Trump says the U.S. and Iran will keep talking but declared last month’s ceasefire “over,” mixing diplomacy with renewed tensions.
- This week three commercial tankers were hit, triggering U.S. strikes on Iranian sites and Iranian retaliatory strikes on U.S. bases; no new attacks were reported Friday.
- Qatar and Oman are mediating to ease tensions and protect shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, where tanker traffic and oil prices have been disrupted.
