> Fears of renewed fighting between Iran and the United States have grown after Donald Trump rejected Tehran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian media reported explosions near Qeshm Island, while both sides accuse each other over shipping, the blockade and control of the waterway. Tehran says the strait will not fully reopen until the US blockade on Iranian ports ends.
