Trump rules out US talks with Iran amid Strait of Hormuz tensions

U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that no diplomatic negotiations are currently scheduled with Tehran, reiterating Washington's position that Iran will not be permitted to develop nuclear weapons. The statement follows an attack on a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, with Washington warning of potential military escalation if maritime plans in the strategic waterway are disrupted. In response, Iranian authorities warned that their military stance would shift to offensive action if diplomatic channels fail completely.

Concurrently, regional peace efforts in Gaza remain deadlocked. Hamas announced its acceptance of the second phase of a proposed peace plan, but Israeli leadership maintains that a complete troop withdrawal will only occur after Hamas fully disarms.
