President Donald Trump says he has paused the U.S. effort to guide stranded commercial vessels from the Strait of Hormuz to finalize a deal with Iran to end the war. Trump also says the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports would continue. His announcement came in a social media post Tuesday evening. No further details were immediately available. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said earlier that major U.S. military operations against Iran are over. He says Iran must agree to U.S. demands on its nuclear program and reopen the strait, a waterway vital to global oil and gas supplies.
