US warns Iran over Strait of Hormuz as Gaza peace talks stall

US President Donald Trump stated there are currently no diplomatic talks scheduled with Iran, reiterating that Tehran must not acquire nuclear weapons. Trump warned of possible military action if Iranian or Omani forces disrupt US maritime operations in the Strait of Hormuz, following an attack on a commercial vessel in the strategic waterway. In response, Iranian officials cautioned that their military would shift to an offensive posture should diplomatic channels fail.

Meanwhile, efforts to secure a cease-fire in Gaza remain stalled. Although Hamas announced its acceptance of the second phase of a US-backed peace proposal, Israeli leadership rejected demands for an immediate troop withdrawal. Israeli officials maintained that military forces will remain in the territory until Hamas completes full disarmament.
