        "summary": "US President Donald Trump has claimed that America has initiated actions to control the strategic Strait of Hormuz amid escalating tensions with Iran. In an interview with Israel's Channel 14, Trump highlighted close coordination with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and expressed belief that Iran seeks a deal following devastating US and Israeli airstrikes that killed over 1,340 people, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran's retaliatory drone and missile attacks on Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf states hosting US military assets have caused casualties, infrastructure damage, and disruptions to global markets and aviation.",
