Iran Shifts to Offensive as Talks Fail | Sydney News

from Sydney News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Iran and the U.S. have missed their 60-day deadline to resolve tensions over Iran’s nuclear program, and Tehran is now shifting from defense to offense. Diplomacy stalled over control of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane, with the U.S. rejecting Iran’s claims. Rhetoric has escalated: the U.S. president threatened to bomb Oman if it interferes with U.S. plans for the strait, while Iran warns of a “timely and precise” military strike against the U.S. naval blockade if diplomacy fails. Both sides are setting new deadlines and heightening public pressure, turning a stalemate into a volatile standoff.
