US President Donald Trump ruled out talks with Tehran following naval tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, while Hamas accepted the second phase of a peace proposal.

United States President Donald Trump has stated that no diplomatic negotiations are currently scheduled with Tehran, reiterating his position that Iran must not acquire nuclear weapons. The announcement follows a vessel attack in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, with Washington warning of potential military action should Iranian or Omani forces impede American maritime activities in the area. In response, Iranian officials cautioned that Tehran would transition to an offensive military stance if diplomatic avenues are exhausted.

Simultaneously, regarding the Gaza conflict, Hamas announced its acceptance of the second phase of a US-backed peace framework. However, Israeli leadership maintained that a total troop withdrawal from the Gaza Strip remains strictly contingent on the complete disarmament of Hamas.
