Trump rules out Iran talks while Gaza ceasefire negotiations remain stalled

U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated that Washington has no scheduled diplomatic talks with Tehran, emphasizing that Iran will not be permitted to develop nuclear capabilities. The statement follows escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz after a vessel was struck, with Washington warning of potential military responses if maritime operations are disrupted. Iranian officials responded by warning that their military strategy will shift to offensive actions should diplomatic channels completely fail.

Concurrently, negotiations toward a Gaza peace framework remain deadlocked. While Hamas reported its acceptance of the second phase of a proposed agreement, Israeli officials maintain that a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces will only occur after Hamas fully disarms.
