US President Donald Trump rules out immediate Iran talks amid Hormuz tensions

US President Donald Trump ruled out near-term talks with Iran following a ship attack in the Strait of Hormuz, while Gaza ceasefire efforts remain stalled over Hamas disarmament demands.
United States President Donald Trump announced that no diplomatic negotiations with Iran are currently planned, reiterating that Tehran cannot be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. The declaration follows an attack on a vessel in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, with Washington warning of potential military action if regional maritime operations are disrupted. In response, Iranian officials cautioned that their armed forces will adopt an offensive posture if diplomatic efforts fail.
Meanwhile, negotiations for a Gaza ceasefire remain deadlocked. Although Hamas announced its acceptance of the second phase of a US-backed peace proposal, Israeli leadership maintained that military forces will not withdraw from the enclave until Hamas fully disarms.
