Tension remains high in the Gulf region as the US and Iran have failed to reach an agreement to end the conflict. However, the temporary cease-fire remains in place after the April 21 deadline passed, giving Washington and Tehran enough time to negotiate terms. Trump has expressed his deep dissatisfaction with Tehran’s recent diplomatic initiatives. He stressed that Washington would not move forward with talks unless the nuclear issue was resolved directly. The US President also claimed that Iran has signaled that it is in a state of collapse and as a result is pushing for the Strait of Hormuz to be reopened as quickly as possible.
