US President Donald Trump has accused Iran of doing a "very poor job" in its handling of oil passing through the pivotal Strait of Hormuz, arguing it was "not the agreement we have". Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his government was to begin direct talks with Lebanon, focusing on the disarmament of Hezbollah. Trump said in an interview that Israel would be "scaling back" its strikes in the country to support peace talks. In a surprise statement from the White House, Melania Trump has said defamatory lies are being spread about her links with Jeffrey Epstein.
