Trump warns Iran over Strait of Hormuz as Gaza talks stall

United States President Donald Trump announced that no diplomatic talks with Iran are currently scheduled, issuing a warning of military action should Iranian or Omani forces interfere with American operations in the Strait of Hormuz. The statement follows a recent attack on a vessel in the crucial maritime corridor. Trump reiterated that Tehran must never obtain nuclear weapons, while Iranian authorities warned their military forces would assume an offensive stance if diplomatic options are exhausted.

Meanwhile, diplomatic progress regarding the Gaza conflict remains stalled. Although Hamas stated its acceptance of the second phase of a United States-backed peace framework, Israeli officials rejected immediate troop withdrawals, maintaining that any military pullout is contingent on the complete disarmament of Hamas.
