Iran War Day 105: Trump Threatens Iran Then Announces Peace Deal

Trump threatened to hit Iran hard and seize control of Kharg Island. Iran announced the full closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Three Indian sailors were killed in a US strike. And then, just hours later, President Trump stunned the world by claiming a peace deal had been reached.

In Day 105 of the Iran War, we break down the dramatic sequence of events that took the conflict from its most dangerous escalation in weeks to the brink of a possible settlement. We examine the latest US strikes across Iran, the closure of the world's most important oil chokepoint, Trump's surprise announcement of a memorandum of understanding, and Iran's immediate pushback against claims that a final agreement exists.

We also cover the IAEA's new resolution on Iran's uranium stockpile, the diplomatic role of Qatar and Pakistan, Israel's reaction to the proposed deal, and what happens next as the world waits for a potential signing ceremony in Europe.

Is this the beginning of the end of the war, or another false dawn in a conflict that has repeatedly appeared close to resolution before spiralling back into crisis?
