> US President Donald Trump said Washington would not seek to extend its interim agreement with Iran, accusing Tehran of rejecting a deal he considers necessary to end the conflict. Iran denied claims of back-channel talks and said it could shift to a fully offensive posture, including possible action around the Strait of Hormuz if diplomacy fails. Trump also threatened to bomb Oman if it obstructs efforts to restore commercial shipping.
