Iran latest: Trump pauses plan to guide ships through Strait of Hormuz, says 'great progress' made toward deal

U.S. President paused the plan to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz, citing ‘great progress’ in reaching a final agreement with Iran. The plan is being temporarily halted at the request of Pakistan and other nations, with discussions underway to modify a draft UN Security Council resolution to avoid a veto by Iranian allies. Iran has warned vessels straying from approved routes and accused the U.S. of undermining shipping security.
