- Trump lashed out after Iran issued new demands, with hopes for a deal dimming, per Yahoo Finance's headline.
- Trump told ABC News reporters 'you'll find out' when pressed on next steps with Iran, while separately claiming the Strait of Hormuz is open and seeking Iranian compensation, per Al Jazeera's headline.
Why it matters: Trump is publicly claiming the Strait of Hormuz is already open and demanding Iranian compensation, yet simultaneously lashing out at Iranian demands and offering no concrete next step beyond 'you'll find out.' The gap between claiming victory on Hormuz and faltering deal prospects reveals conflicting signals from the administration on the same day.
