President Donald Trump said the United States has no immediate plans for further strikes on Iran, though he confirmed a limited U.S. attack on Qeshm Island and left open the possibility of more action. The eight-month conflict between Washington and Tehran is also threatening shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route at the center of indirect negotiations [reuters.com][aljazeera.com][tass.com]. Trump told the Financial Times the United States was “getting everything” it wanted and said American forces were ready to act if needed. He said the Qeshm strike hit a newly completed Iranian anti-aircraft facility; U.S. officials described it as a limited defensive operation, not a return to major combat [reuters.com][aljazeera.com]. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, called Washington’s response to Tehran’s seven conditions unconvincing. Iran has tied reopening Hormuz to conditions including lifting sanctions, ending the U.S. naval blockade and releasing frozen funds. Qatar says both sides are reviewing proposals, but a senior Iranian official told Reuters they remain far from a deal.
