US Iran war live updates: US Vice President JD Vance has not yet departed for Pakistan for negotiations with Iran. Iran has also not confirmed its participation in the talks.

President Donald Trump will hold a press conference from the White House about the Iran war ahead of his deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Deputy minister of the internationally unrecognised Houthi administration in Sanaa, Yemen, Hussein al-Ezzi has warned that rebels may close the Bab al-Mandeb Strait off the coast of Yemen if US President Donald Trump continues to “obstruct peace”.

Islamabad: Two regional officials said on Tuesday that the United States and Iran have signalled they will hold a new round of ceasefire talks in Islamabad as a fragile two-week truce was due to expire.

The Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed to most commercial shipping traffic due to Iran's threats and despite an ongoing U.S. military blockade of Iranian ports aimed at forcing a reopening. The tanker gridlock is keeping global oil and gas prices high and keeping pressure on all parties to the conflict to find a solution.

Sirens rang out in the Middle East overnight, hours after a two-week ceasefire deal was reached between the U.S., Israel and Iran.

President Donald Trump declared Iran is "essentially really no longer a threat" after a 32-day U.S. military campaign, telling Americans in a primetime address Wednesday that the country has been "eviscerated" following weeks of strikes.

President Donald Trump said a deal will happen "relatively quickly" while also saying he is "under no pressure" to make peace.

President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military and government sites. Trump set a deadline for Iran to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face broad strikes on its critical infrastructure.
