US-Iran War News Live Updates: Iran has stepped up diplomatic efforts to avert another round of US strikes, warning Gulf states that any attack on its territory would trigger retaliation against energy infrastructure, oil facilities and US-linked assets across the region, reported Reuters. Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi urged Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other regional partners to press Washington towards diplomacy, while Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly asked US President Donald Trump to delay military action and revive negotiations. Trump later said talks were "moving along nicely" but warned Iran would be hit "really hard" if diplomacy failed. Even as Tehran denied formal peace talks, it confirmed progress with Oman on a proposed framework to manage shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical oil chokepoints. The proposed arrangement could give Iran greater oversight of ships entering the Gulf, although key disagreements remain. Markets reacted cautiously, with hopes of de-escalation weighing on oil prices, while continued shipping risks kept traders on edge. Tensions remained high after Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis claimed fresh attacks on Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, adding to concerns over global energy supplies and regional stability.
