Trump Says Iran's Handling of Strait of Hormuz Is 'Not the Agreement We Have' | BBC News

Apr 10, 2026 | US President Donald Trump has accused Iran of doing a "very poor job" in handling oil passing through the Strait of Hormuz, arguing it was "not the agreement we have".

It comes as the ceasefire between the US and Iran was agreed earlier this week, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu aiming to begin direct talks with Lebanon for peaceful relations.

A US State Department official confirmed it would host a meeting next week in Washington "to discuss ongoing ceasefire negotiations with Israel and Lebanon".

After Israeli strikes continued in Lebanon throughout Thursday, Trump said that Israel would be "scaling back" its strikes in the country to support peace talks.

Ehud Barak, the Defence Minister, said that Israel "cannot accept" the attack, which took place as the soldier patrolled the Kissufim crossing with Gaza, and would retaliate following an emergency meeting of the country's security chiefs.

The incident threatened to destroy the calm which has largely prevailed since Israel and the Islamist group unilaterally ended a three-week conflict on January 17. >>> James Hider in Jerusalem and David Byers | Tuesday, January 27, 2009
