A stalemate remains in the negotiations US-Iran<\/b>, with the situation in the Sea of Hormuz unchanged, with the double blockade continuing.<\/p>\n
Today marks the end of the 60-day<\/strong> deadline for US President Donald Trump<\/strong> to seek the approval of Congress to declare war on Iran<\/b> or, failing that, to halt military operations<\/b>, although his administration has hinted that he will ignore that obligation.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the US president protested<\/b> on Thursday against efforts by Congress<\/b> aimed at limiting his war powers. The US President also said that no one knows the progress of talks<\/b> with Iran<\/b> except him and a few others, suggesting that negotiations<\/b> are moving forward despite the apparent stagnation seen publicly. He was expected to be briefed by Pentagon<\/b> officials on the latest military options.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the conflict between the US and its European allies<\/b> has reached new heights, with Trump threatening to withdraw US troops from Germany, Italy and Spain<\/b> amid disagreements over the war in Iran. “The trust in the White House<\/b> is no longer the same,” a German congressman told CNN.<\/p>\n For his part, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei<\/b> stressed his different stance<\/b> on the region, calling Iran’s recent gains irrevocable facts.<\/p>\n Air defense systems<\/b> took action last Thursday night against small aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles in the skies of the Iranian capital Tehran, Iranian media reported.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Iran said on Thursday<\/b> that it would respond with “long and painful attacks” <\/b>against US positions if Washington resumes its attacks and claims in the Strait of Hormuz, complicating US plans to build a coalition aimed at reopening the sea route.<\/p>\n Oil prices marked a rise<\/b> today but remained below the four-year highs<\/b> recorded yesterday as negotiations to end the war in Iran remained deadlocked and the Strait of Hormuz remained closed to most maritime traffic.<\/b><\/p>\n Brent futures for July, the global benchmark, rose 1.0 percent to $111.48 a barrel, having risen sharply yesterday before retreating at the close.<\/p>\n West Texas Intermediate futures were 0.4%<\/b> higher at $105.50 per barrel.<\/p>\n As an adviser to the UAE<\/b> President, Anwar Gargas, <\/b>stated on Friday in a post on X that no unilateral arrangement by Iran regarding freedom of navigation<\/b> in the Strait of Hormuz can be trusted or relied upon, following Tehran’s<\/b> “insidious aggression” against its neighbors.<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The US-Iran negotiations remain deadlocked, with the situation in the Strait of Hormuz unchanged, with the double blockade …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3551,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3550"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3550\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Rising oil prices<\/h3>\n
