In Tehran, Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei said Iran is drawing up conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, insisting Washington must first take concrete steps to meet its demands. Qatar’s prime minister held related talks in Tehran, as hopes grew that stalled US-Iran dialogue could resume, even as a US source said the Gulf naval blockade remains in place with no talks scheduled.

Meanwhile, Trump addressed Nepal’s flood crisis, where flash floods near the China border have killed hundreds and left over a thousand missing. He told reporters the destruction was devastating and confirmed the US has offered Nepal whatever help it needs, as officials work to account for Americans still unreachable in the disaster zone.

Key developments: 

• Trump signs the Lake Ontario order: Seated at the Resolute Desk with a map reading “Lake America” propped behind him, Trump said Canada was “the worst” to deal with on trade, adding that “they feel entitled and we can’t have that.”
• Canada pushes back sharply: Ontario Premier Doug Ford insisted the lake would remain “Lake Ontario to Canadians and the rest of the world,” while PM Mark Carney invoked its Indigenous roots, noting the name predates both Canadian Confederation and US independence.
• Iran drafts conditions for reopening Hormuz: Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei said Tehran is compiling a list of demands that must be met before the Strait of Hormuz reopens, insisting Washington must first take practical steps to fulfill them.
• Rising toll, mass search operation: Nepal’s disaster management authority put the death count at 389, with around 910 people, including over 500 foreign nationals, still missing. Officials said 50 foreigners had been airlifted to safety so far, though the terrain is severely hampering rescue work.
• Trump addresses Nepal floods: Separately in the Oval Office, Trump said the US had offered Nepal “anything they want” after catastrophic flash floods, describing how “strong, well-built buildings were wiped out like they were toothpicks.”
