President Donald Trump said he was “optimistic” about a deal with Iran but later threatened Tehran over charging fees in the Strait of Hormuz, as Israeli strikes in Lebanon and the continued closure of the vital waterway jeopardized diplomatic talks.

Ships of all types were seen on Wednesday morning clustered on either side of Hormuz, around Dubai in the Persian Gulf and Khor Fakkan in the Gulf of Oman.
