President Trump said the U.S. and Iran are working together to remove sea mines from the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran had closed during the U.S.-Iran conflict that began in February 2026. Multiple outlets confirm the strait has reopened following an Israel-Lebanon ceasefire, though Trump simultaneously said the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports remains in force — a contradiction that wasn't fully resolved in available reporting. Trump also expressed optimism about resuming peace talks as soon as this weekend and suggested he might travel to Pakistan to sign an agreement if negotiations succeed.
