The United States and Iran continue to make progress in implementing the memorandum signed this week to steer the end of the conflict, although the situation on the ground remains fragile. Tehran insists that any agreement must include the cessation of Israeli military operations in Lebanon and has held Washington responsible for supporting its ally's actions in the region.

Meanwhile, violence has escalated on Lebanese territory. Israeli bombings have left dozens of casualties in recent hours, despite the ceasefire announced between Israel and Hezbollah and the opening of a new channel of dialogue driven by the United States. The next talks between Israeli and Lebanese representatives are scheduled for next week in Washington.

The escalation has also generated international concern. Several European countries have toughened their stance against Benjamin Netanyahu's government over the continuity of military operations and the lack of progress toward a stable solution in the region, while diplomatic pressure grows to consolidate the peace process opened between Washington and Tehran.

"They get 50 percent of their oil from the Strait, but I asked him not to get involved, and he said he wouldn't, and he didn't," Trump said, adding that he positively values the response received from the Chinese leader.

Trump warns Iran: 60 days to reach an agreement or the US will take action

Trump clarified that he does not believe that situation will arise, but underscored the economic consequences of a conflict, stating: "They will see the price of oil fall so much, I hope companies are happy with it."

In this regard, the president warned about security in energy supply, asserting that if forceful measures are taken, "oil will stop flowing through the Strait of Hormuz," arguing that billionaire shipowners do not wish to operate in areas where there are risks from missiles or mines.
