Donald Trump says "I don't have to announce everything" about secret actions against banks over Iran

Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary Mohsen Rezaei said mediators asked Tehran to present terms for resuming Strait of Hormuz traffic, and Iran is compiling demands including ending the regional war. He said Iran and Oman agreed on a passageway, with ships using a central channel if Washington meets the terms. Earlier, President Trump said the US was not interested in talks and would keep up economic pressure; his press secretary said that would last until Iran negotiates seriously. Treasury Secretary Bessent warned governments to sever financial ties with Iran or face secondary sanctions. Asked whether he would target Russia or Chinese banks doing business with Iran, Trump suggested he may already be acting without public announcements. Qatar's prime minister visited Tehran, the third high-level diplomatic visit in days, after Pakistani and Omani mediation.
