Trump rules out Iran talks following Strait of Hormuz incident

United States President Donald Trump announced that no diplomatic talks are currently scheduled with Iran, reinforcing Washington's stance to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear capabilities. The declaration follows reports of a vessel being struck in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting warnings from Trump regarding potential military escalation should Iranian or Omani forces interfere with maritime operations. In response, Iranian officials warned that their military forces would shift to offensive operations if diplomatic channels collapse.

Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts regarding the conflict in Gaza remain deadlocked. Hamas stated its acceptance of the second phase of a proposed peace framework. However, Israeli leadership reiterated that its military forces will only withdraw after Hamas undergoes complete disarmament and surrenders all weapons.
