Iran war live: Tankers hit in Hormuz; Trump again says conflict to end soon

US President Donald Trump says the war on Iran will end “very soon, one way or the other”, warning that Tehran will either make a deal or “we’ll just end it”.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says two crude oil tankers have caught fire after hitting mines in the Strait of Hormuz, as Gulf nations condemn Friday’s attack on a Qatari LNG carrier. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says talks with mediators over a two-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz are ongoing, and expresses hope that the US has “enough sense to choose diplomacy “.
