President Donald Trump of the United States announced that Iran has agreed to allow 20 oil vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz over the next few days, starting from Monday morning. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday night, Trump stated, "I will just say that there has been significant progress in the discussions, but one can never fully trust Iran. We engage in talks, and then situations take turns that compel us to respond with force."


Response to Ceasefire Proposal
