US President Trump rules out Iran talks amid Strait of Hormuz tensions

US President Donald Trump stated there are no scheduled negotiations with Iran, emphasizing that Tehran must not acquire nuclear weapons. Trump warned of potential military escalation if Iranian or Omani forces disrupt US operations in the Strait of Hormuz following an attack on a commercial ship in the waterway. In response, Iranian officials warned their military could adopt an offensive posture if diplomatic efforts with Washington collapse.

Meanwhile, efforts to resolve the conflict in Gaza remain divided. Hamas announced its acceptance of the second phase of a US peace proposal. However, Israeli officials rejected an immediate withdrawal, reiterating that military forces will remain in the Gaza Strip until Hamas fully disarms.
