Donald Trump has urged Iran to reach a “meaningful” agreement with the United States as Washington increases its military presence in the Middle East amid rising tensions. Speaking at the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace initiative focused on Gaza, Trump warned that failure to secure a deal could lead to serious consequences, adding that developments may unfold within the next 10 days. Meanwhile, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy has launched large-scale naval exercises titled “Smart Control of the Strait of Hormuz” in the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. Iranian media reported that the drills, supervised by IRGC Commander Mohammad Pakpour, are aimed at testing operational readiness and strengthening the navy’s ability to respond quickly to potential security and military threats in the sensitive maritime corridor.
