Iran fails to strike deal with US as deadline passes and Trump calls for ‘white flag of surrender'

Iran failed to reach a final deal with the U.S. by Monday’s deadline, leaving disputes over Tehran’s nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz unresolved. Although Iran announced an understanding with Oman on a commercial transit route through the strait, the plan cannot take effect without U.S. approval, and tensions escalated as both sides resumed military action.
