Iran shuts Strait of Hormuz as Trump says nuclear deal is slipping away

The U.S. and Iran are facing a severe escalation in tensions, with President Trump declaring that nuclear negotiations are over following a series of U.S. military strikes and Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Defense analysts suggest the U.S. is stuck in a low-level conflict without a clear strategy for victory, potentially prolonging the instability until after the U.S. midterms.
