Trump Presses Iran to Accept Nuclear Deal as Hormuz Standoff Continues

US President Trump is urging Iran to sign a nuclear deal, warning that Tehran should "get smart soon" and accept the agreement. He rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz until nuclear concerns are addressed, and reports suggest the US may extend its blockade. A Japanese vessel passed through the Strait of Hormuz for the first time, which Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi called a positive development. Meanwhile, calls have grown for a humanitarian corridor through the strait as the conflict disrupts vital aid deliveries.
