US President Donald Trump has extended the deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by 10 days, following a request from Tehran. He claims talks are progressing well despite media reports. Trump previously threatened to destroy Iran's energy infrastructure if the waterway is not reopened. His envoy, Steve Witkoff, indicated that Iran might be ready to negotiate. Meanwhile, Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid criticized the government's handling of the war, stating that the IDF is overstretched. Iran has sent a response to the US's proposals, demanding an end to attacks and respect for its sovereignty.
