Trump warns of new Iran strikes as Tehran vows 'doomsday war' but keeps diplomacy open

President Donald Trump warned that further US strikes against Iran remain possible before November's midterm elections, while Tehran vowed to resist renewed attacks, intensifying the confrontation over the Strait of Hormuz and global oil flows. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran was prepared for a "doomsday war" but remained open to diplomacy, awaiting a US response through mediators to a proposal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz on the sixth day after agreed US steps. Washington rejected the plan as a "cynical attempt" to obtain sanctions relief, with US Ambassador Mike Waltz demanding assurances on Iran's nuclear programme. Iran's Fars news agency claimed Iranian forces targeted 19 vessels over the weekend, though the reports were unverified, while US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said oil flows through Hormuz averaged nearly 13 million barrels daily. The IRGC also claimed seizing a second US underwater vehicle, and Canada condemned Iran's threats to shipping, announcing new sanctions on five individuals and five entities.
