President Donald Trump has stated that the military engagement involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran is nearing its conclusion. He suggested that the significant damage to Iranian infrastructure has created a situation where a diplomatic deal is becoming inevitable. While military operations have not fully ceased, the rhetoric from Washington has shifted toward a "final phase" of the conflict.

Despite this optimism, a strict naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz remains in place. Military reports confirm that no commercial or military vessels have successfully breached the perimeter in the last 24 hours, maintaining immense economic pressure on the region. Diplomatic channels in Islamabad are expected to reopen within the next 48 hours to finalize ceasefire terms.

The global economy is already showing signs of the conflict's toll, with international financial bodies lowering growth forecasts for the year. However, stock markets in Asia, including Malaysia, saw a morning bounce as investors reacted to the possibility of a resolution. Oil prices remain volatile as the world waits to see if the blockade will be lifted.
