US President Trump rules out Iran talks amid Hormuz tension and Gaza ceasefire friction

US President Donald Trump has stated that no diplomatic talks with Iran are currently planned, reiterating his stance that Tehran must not acquire nuclear weapons. The announcement follows escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz after a vessel was hit, prompting Washington to warn of military action if Oman or Tehran disrupt critical shipping lanes. In response, Iranian officials warned that military forces would shift to an offensive posture if diplomatic efforts stall completely.

Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts regarding Gaza remain deadlocked. Although Hamas announced its acceptance of the second phase of a US-backed peace proposal, Israeli leadership reiterated that its military forces will not withdraw from the Gaza Strip until Hamas completes full disarmament.
