> The memorandum intended to end fighting between the United States and Iran expires on Monday, while both sides accuse the other of breaching it. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Tehran has not decided whether to resume talks, and Donald Trump says the US will soon claim the Strait of Hormuz. Key commitments, including ending military operations and restoring shipping, remain unfulfilled.
