US officials have stated that Washington wants Iran to publicly pledge to end attacks on vessels in the strategic Strait of Hormuz. This demand comes amid heightened tensions between the two countries.

US President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran, threatening to "completely decimate" the country if it attempts to assassinate him. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump declared, "1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow."

Trump also claimed that Iran has threatened to assassinate him "in many Corners of the Globe."

In response, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote on X that Iran has respected its commitments in a ceasefire with the United States, emphasizing that "there can only be mutual compliance."

The situation remains tense, with ongoing coverage of the conflict between the United States and Iran continuing as of July 11, 2026.
