President Donald Trump has said strikes on Iran could resume after November's midterm elections if Iran does not agree to a deal.

In the meantime, Iran's armed forces spokesman is warning neighboring countries not to rely on the US for security. He said this morning, "continued reliance on the so-called US security umbrella means accepting the heavy costs of a wrong calculation and decision."

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman also claiming the closure of the Strait of Hormuz was done "in accordance with international law."
