US President Donald Trump said "respect" from Iran would be key to sustaining peace after the end of the Iran-Israel war, expressing optimism about fully reopening the Strait of Hormuz to create "an oil gusher". "As long as they respect us, I don't want to use the word fear because that's an inappropriate word, but as long as they respect us, we're not going to have any trouble," Trump told reporters at his Oval Office on Monday. Iran effectively closed the strait after the US and Israel attacked on Feb 28, causing fuel prices to skyrocket far beyond the region. The interim agreement to end the war was supposed to reopen the channel. Dozens of ships passed through it over the weekend, even though the main route is still mined and closed. The lead negotiator of the Iranian delegation, Iran's parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, insisted on Monday that the Strait of Hormuz will be managed by Iran, but following international laws. "Hopefully we can activate the strait aga

With US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer visiting India, the Congress on Tuesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi must stop appeasing his "good friend" President Donald Trump and there is absolutely no need for India to be "bamboozled" into signing any trade pact which at present is heavily against its interests.

Negotiators expected to work through the night after high-level US-Iran talks on their interim deal to end the war had a tense start Sunday in Switzerland, when Tehran took offence at US President Donald Trump's threat to attack and his warning that Iran's president should watch what he says. The comments from afar on social media and to news outlets complicated efforts by Vice President J D Vance and mediators Pakistan and Qatar to keep Iran engaged in discussions meant to address thorny issues like Tehran's nuclear programme, the Strait of Hormuz and the unfreezing of billions of dollars in Iranian assets. Before anything, however, Iran wants to discuss Lebanon, where Israel's military has been fighting the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group, since the deal halts conflict on all fronts. "Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble," Trump said on social media. "If they don't, we'll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week
