Iran Says It Still Controls Strait, Not Seeking Talks, After Trump Halts Bombing
Iran said it still controls the Strait of Hormuz and is not seeking peace talks with the United States after Trump halted a two-week bombing campaign.
Trump suspended the bombing campaign on the advice of military commanders who said the bombing had reached its limits and targets were running out.
The halt of bombing sent Brent crude oil prices down more than 8% to under $89, after briefly topping $100 last week.
Iran state media said six 'offending ships' were turned back in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, asserting control over traffic routes.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who launched the war alongside Trump, is due to meet Trump in Washington early this week.
