US President Trump said he did not tell Venezuelan opposition leader Machado not to return to Venezuela.

伊朗首席谈判代表卡利巴夫：美国尚未意识到，霸凌和背弃承诺绝非没有代价，我要明确地说，如果你们先动手，就必将遭到反击。

Military force is unlikely to restore regular shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, leaving the US and Iran at risk of a prolonged 'neither peace nor war' state. A ceasefire memorandum after US strikes on Feb. 28 used ambiguous wording that allows both sides to continue pursuing objectives by other means. Washington tried to increase tanker transits via the Omani-side channel, including switching off ship transponders, but the IRGC successfully struck several of those tankers, suggesting traffic is unlikely to return to pre-conflict levels without further agreement. The Pentagon reportedly presented military options to break the stalemate, but they were rejected by President Trump; months of strikes have so far failed to produce decisive results, raising the prospect of extended instability in the strait.
