Iran US Israel War LIVE News Updates:\u00a0<\/strong>US President Donald Trump has reportedly indicated a willingness to end the war with Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains shut, with advisers concluding that a full-scale operation to reopen the key shipping route could prolong the conflict beyond the planned four-to-six-week timeline.<\/p>\n

\nA crude oil tanker off the coast of Dubai was hit and set ablaze in an apparent Iranian strike, underlining growing risks to global energy infrastructure and shipping lanes. Trump has warned that the US could target Iran\u2019s oil and energy facilities, including key export hubs, if the waterway is not reopened.<\/p>\n

\nIran has responded with sharp warnings, saying any attack on its territory or infrastructure would be met with multiple retaliatory strikes. The rhetoric comes amid continued military exchanges and a widening regional footprint of the conflict.<\/p>\n

\nIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the war has moved \u201cbeyond the halfway point\u201d in terms of operational goals, citing significant damage to Iran\u2019s military, industrial and nuclear capabilities, though he did not offer a timeline for its conclusion.<\/p>\n

\nDiplomatic efforts remain uncertain. Iran has rejected Pakistan\u2019s offer to host talks with the US, distancing itself from mediation attempts even as it continues to review broader proposals through intermediaries.<\/p>\n

\nA United Nations analysis has warned that more than 17 million people in Southern and Eastern Africa could face acute hunger as the war disrupts global markets, exacerbating existing crises driven by conflict, climate shocks and funding constraints.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
