Iran war updates: Trump to reopen talks ‘at some point’; Israel pounds Gaza

BANDAR ABBAS, IRAN - AUGUST 10: Ships are anchored in the Strait of Hormuz on August 10, 2026 off the coast of Bandar Abbas, Iran. In a recent statement, Iran's Supreme National Security Council said the vital waterway would not reopen until the United States corrects its behavior, demanding that the U.S. end its war on Iran and compensate the country for war damage, among other conditions. Iran has largely halted vessel traffic through the strait with the threat of strikes; meanwhile, the U.S. has imposed a blockade on Iranian ports. (Photo by Ali Saeedi/Getty Images)
