Trump rules out US negotiations with Iran amid Middle East tensions

United States President Donald Trump announced that Washington has no diplomatic negotiations scheduled with Tehran, reiterating that Iran will not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons. Trump warned of potential military actions if Iranian or Omani forces interfere with shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz. In response, Iranian officials indicated they would transition to offensive military operations if diplomatic avenues fail completely.

Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts regarding the war in Gaza face ongoing obstacles. Hamas announced its agreement to the second phase of a proposed peace framework. However, Israeli officials maintained that a full troop withdrawal will occur only after Hamas surrenders its weapons and completely disarms.
