Iran live updates: Vance expected to travel to Pakistan on Tuesday

President Donald Trump wrote on social media that the U.S. naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz will not be lifted until the U.S. and Iran reach a deal.

"(This has been, in addition to everything else, Regime Change!), and perhaps, most important of all, THE BLOCKADE, which we will not take off until there is a "DEAL," is absolutely destroying Iran," Trump wrote.

In a separate post, the president claimed that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has "forced" other countries to come to the U.S. for oil.

"The Iranian leadership has forced hundreds of Ships toward the United States, mostly Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, to get their Oil -- Thank you very much!" he wrote.

As the Iran conflict drags on, President Donald Trump insists that he is not facing any time constraints to secure a deal, pushing back on reports that say he is under "pressure."

"I am under no pressure whatsoever, although, it will all happen, relatively quickly! Time is not my adversary," Trump wrote on social media.

The president insisted that he is ahead of schedule militarily.

"They like to say that I promised 6 weeks to defeat Iran, and actually, from the Military standpoint, it was far faster than that, but I'm not going to let them rush the United States into making a Deal that is not as good as it could have been," Trump wrote.

Vice President JD Vance is expected to leave for Pakistan on Tuesday for the next round of peace talks with Iran, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the plans. The sources cautioned that the situation is fluid and plans could change.

The State Department will host a second round of talks between Israel and Lebanon on Thursday, according to a State Department spokesperson.

"The United States welcomes the productive engagement that began on April 14," the spokesperson said. "We will continue to facilitate direct, good-faith discussions between the two governments."
