Trump rules out negotiations with Iran as Strait of Hormuz tensions rise

United States President Donald Trump has stated that no diplomatic talks are currently planned with Iran, reiterating that Washington will prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Trump warned of potential military action if Iranian or Omani forces disrupt maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, where a vessel was recently struck. Iranian officials cautioned that their military will switch to offensive operations if diplomatic channels collapse entirely.

Concurrently, peace efforts regarding Gaza remain stalled. Hamas announced its acceptance of the second phase of a proposed peace framework. However, Israeli leadership maintains that a full withdrawal of troops will occur only after Hamas completely disarms and surrenders its weapons.
