Donald Trump warned of potential military escalation in the Strait of Hormuz, while Tehran threatened an offensive posture if diplomacy fails.

United States President Donald Trump announced that no diplomatic talks are currently planned with Iran, maintaining that Tehran must be prevented from acquiring nuclear weapons. Trump warned of potential military action if Iranian or Omani forces disrupt American strategic objectives in the Strait of Hormuz, following a recent maritime attack on a vessel in the strategic waterway.

In response, Iranian officials stated they would adopt an offensive military posture if diplomatic avenues with Washington fail. Meanwhile, regional developments continue as Hamas accepted a proposal put forward by Trump regarding the second phase of a Gaza settlement. However, Israeli leadership reiterated that its military forces will not withdraw until Hamas undergoes complete disarmament.
