On the 46th day of the ongoing war between the United States and Iran, US President Donald Trump stated that despite the American naval blockade of Iranian ports, there is still an opportunity for Tehran to reach an agreement. His remarks came as tensions remained high in the region.

Iran has described the US naval blockade as an act of piracy. Thousands of people in Tehran have protested against the American move targeting shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz. The Associated Press reported that diplomatic efforts to restart talks between the two countries are continuing, with Pakistan proposing a second round of discussions in Islamabad this week.

According to Trump, the United States and Iran could sit for talks within the next two days, signaling a possible opening for renewed negotiations despite the ongoing conflict and public unrest in Iran.
