Middle East crisis live: Iran says ‘fundamental’ issues’ still to be resolved with US amid strait of Hormuz impasse

Negotiations between Iran and the US remain stalled over "fundamental issues," according to Iran's top negotiator. Tensions are high as Iran reportedly closed the Strait of Hormuz again after the US indicated it would not end its blockade. The closure is allegedly in effect until the US lifts its blockade. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian criticized Donald Trump's past efforts to limit Iran's nuclear capabilities, questioning the justification for depriving Iran of its nuclear rights. The ongoing impasse raises concerns about regional stability and global oil supply routes.
