US-Israel-Iran War Live News: The war between the US and Iran entered a critical phase as US President Donald Trump again declared that Iran must never have a nuclear weapon, while the 60-day framework between Washington and Tehran expired without a wider peace agreement.
The deadline passed as both sides remained divided over sanctions, Iran’s nuclear programme and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
At the same time, Tehran said it was working with Oman on a plan to manage commercial shipping through Hormuz, offering a possible opening for diplomacy even as tensions remain high. Shipping through the strategic waterway has dropped sharply following attacks on vessels, keeping global energy markets under pressure.
US-Israel-Iran War Live News: Trump Reaffirms Iran to Never Possess Nuclear Weapons in ‘Any Way’
Trump reiterated on Monday that preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon remains his top priority. “The number one Goal is, and always will be, that Iran cannot have, in any way, shape, or form, a Nuclear Weapon,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
His statement came as the 60-day US-Iran negotiating period expired without a permanent settlement. The nuclear issue remains one of the central disputes between Washington and Tehran.
US-Israel-Iran War Live News: Why It Is Trump’s No.1 Goal?
Trump has consistently presented preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons as a core US objective in the conflict.
Washington has also linked its wider pressure campaign to Iran’s military capabilities and demands for a new agreement. The administration has increasingly relied on sanctions and economic pressure while negotiations remain stalled.
The nuclear issue has become even more important as the June memorandum expires without a final agreement. Iran and the US continue to disagree over sanctions relief, the scope of nuclear restrictions and security guarantees.
US-Israel-Iran War Live News: What Did He Say on Truth Social?
Trump used Truth Social to restate his position on Iran’s nuclear programme. “The number one Goal is, and always will be, that Iran cannot have, in any way, shape, or form, a Nuclear Weapon,” he wrote.
He also criticised Tehran for not accepting the agreement proposed by Washington and repeated his warning, “Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.”
US-Israel-Iran War Live News: 60-Day US-Iran Deal Expires Without Breakthrough
The 60-day period under the June US-Iran memorandum expired on Monday without producing a permanent peace agreement.
The framework had aimed to halt hostilities, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and create space for negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme. However, Washington and Tehran later accused each other of violating the arrangement, leaving the talks deadlocked.
Iran has rejected the idea that the deadline automatically determines its next steps. Tehran has argued that US violations made the deadline “entirely moot.”
US-Israel-Iran War Live News: Iran Works With Oman on Strait of Hormuz Plan
Iran has moved ahead with discussions with Oman over a possible arrangement for commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
The proposed plan involves designated routes that would allow vessels to enter through the Iranian side and exit near Oman. Iran said the arrangement was nearing completion as the wider US-Iran deal expired.
The development could help restore some commercial traffic through the strategic waterway, but it does not resolve the wider dispute between Washington and Tehran. The US has demanded a broader reopening of Hormuz, while Iran continues to insist on its own conditions for restoring normal shipping.
US-Israel-Iran War Live News: Oil Prices Move Towards $90
Oil prices remained elevated as traders monitored the US-Iran standoff and the sharp reduction in shipping through Hormuz.
Reuters reported that only five commodity vessels crossed the strait on Saturday and none on Sunday, compared with 31 vessels during the previous weekend. Before the war, more than 130 vessels crossed the waterway on some days.
The Strait of Hormuz is a crucial energy route, making any prolonged disruption a major concern for oil markets. The continuing uncertainty around shipping, combined with stalled diplomacy, has kept traders focused on the possibility of further supply disruptions.
US-Israel-Iran War Live News: Will Trump Resume Military Pressure?
The expiry of the 60-day framework raises fresh questions over Washington’s next move.
The Trump administration has shifted greater attention towards economic pressure in recent weeks, with sanctions and restrictions forming a major part of its strategy against Tehran.
However, the absence of progress on the nuclear issue and Hormuz could increase pressure for tougher action if negotiations fail to restart. Iran, meanwhile, has continued to signal that it will not accept US demands under pressure. The possibility of renewed military escalation therefore remains a major concern.
US-Israel-Iran War Live News: What’s Next?
The immediate focus will be on whether the Iran-Oman shipping plan can move forward and whether it creates enough space for wider US-Iran negotiations.
The expired 60-day framework has not produced a final settlement, while Trump’s latest nuclear warning shows that Washington continues to treat Iran’s nuclear capability as a major red line.
Hormuz will remain another key test. Any sustained reopening could ease pressure on global energy markets and create room for diplomacy. A further disruption, however, could push oil prices higher and deepen the confrontation.
