President Donald Trump urgently convened a senior national security meeting in the White House Situation Room on Saturday morning to address the escalating crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. Following the meeting, he has now set a same-day deadline for a diplomatic resolution with Iran, stating, 'I will know by the end of today if a deal is going to happen.' This ultimatum comes as the U.S. is prepared to resume military operations if negotiations fail, and Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz and fired on commercial vessels.
