> The White House says the United States and Iran are not currently negotiating an end to the war, while Washington concentrates on economic pressure and keeps all options open. Iran threatens a harsh response to any U.S. “malicious” act. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warns that new measures or rhetoric could intensify hostilities, as Iran and Oman discuss a permanent Strait of Hormuz navigation corridor.
