Iran war live: Trump says Hormuz operation paused amid US, Tehran talks

Former President Donald Trump has announced that operations in the Hormuz Strait have been paused as discussions continue between the United States and Iran. This development comes amid heightened tensions in the region, which have raised concerns about potential conflicts.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed that a ceasefire with Iran is still in effect, despite the escalating situation. The Hormuz Strait is a critical waterway for global oil shipments, and any military actions in the area could have significant implications for international trade and security. The ongoing talks aim to address the rising tensions and seek a resolution to the current standoff.
