US President Donald Trump rules out planned talks with Iran amid Hormuz tensions

US President Donald Trump announced that Washington currently has no diplomatic negotiations scheduled with Tehran, reiterating that Iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. Trump warned of potential US military responses if shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz are disrupted, following reports of an attack on a vessel in the strategic waterway. In response, Iranian leadership cautioned that its military forces could adopt an offensive stance if diplomatic pathways fail completely.

Simultaneously, ceasefire efforts in the Gaza Strip remain stalled. Although Hamas indicated it accepted the second phase of a US-backed peace proposal, Israeli officials maintained that troops will not withdraw from the enclave until the militant group is fully disarmed.
