Donald Trump has made it clear there are no talks planned with Iran.

Posting on Truth Social, the U.S. president wrote:
"There are no talks or conversations going on or scheduled with the Islamic Republic of Iran."

He added:
"The naval blockade remains in full force and effect.
The Hormuz Strait is open and operating.
All water mines have been removed or detonated."

Trumpโ€™s statement shuts the door on diplomacy for now and confirms the U.S. intends to keep pressure on Iran through the naval blockade.
Claiming Hormuz is "open and operating" with all mines cleared directly contradicts Iranโ€™s position that the strait remains blocked until its conditions are met.
With no talks scheduled and Iran offering rewards for U.S. servicemen, the risk of miscalculation in the Gulf rises sharply.

Iran's military is offering a reward for the capture or killing of U.S. servicemen.
Iran's army commander-in-chief announced during a press briefing that any successful combatant will receive a "proper gift."

The commander said:
"Whoever, any day combatant of ours, kills an American or captures one and hands him over to any of the units of the Islamic Republic of Iran army, we will provide a proper gift."

He stated the reward is equivalent to 40,000 Australian dollars, or about 30,000 U.S. dollars.

The announcement comes as peace talks remain stalled and traffic in the Strait of Hormuz is still halted.

This is a major escalation in rhetoric and directly targets U.S. personnel.
It raises the risk of incidents involving U.S. forces in the region, especially with Hormuz already a flashpoint and the ceasefire in doubt.
The move signals Tehran is shifting to more aggressive deterrence while negotiations are frozen.

On Truth Social Wednesday, President Donald Trump repeated that the U.S. maintains "total control" over the Strait of Hormuz.
"I don't trust Iran... We have total control over the Hormuz Strait right now. They don't have control. We have total control. We own it."
He also claimed Iran's economy has "collapsed" under a U.S. naval blockade, with inflation above 300%.

Iran disputes this. Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority said on X the strait "remains blocked and will not be reopened until Iran's conditions are accepted."
Shipping data from the Wall Street Journal shows only 14 vessels crossed Tuesday, compared to 130+ per day before the war. 11 of them used a route administered by Iran.

Turkey's state-run Anadolu agency reported Washington and Tehran, via Pakistani mediation, notified Islamabad they would extend the 60-day truce set to expire August 17th.
The ceasefire was part of a war-ending memorandum signed June 17th after months of fighting.

But a senior Iranian official told Reuters there have been "no discussions" with Washington about extending the ceasefire. Tehran says the truce "never formally started" and therefore "sees nothing to extend."

He said the military currently controls the strategic waterway.

๐‚๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ:
Speaking to reporters at the Oval Office, Trump said the United States maintains control of the Strait.
He described the U.S. blockade as an "effective barrier" and said vessels are allowed through selectively.

Trump also said mines had been placed in the waterway at times.
According to his claim, U.S. forces detected and removed mines across the strait.

The Strait of Hormuz handles roughly 20% of the worldโ€™s oil and gas shipments, making control of it a major flashpoint in U.S.-Iran tensions.

๐–๐ก๐ฒ ๐ˆ๐ญ ๐Œ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ:
Claiming full mine clearance and control signals the U.S. is asserting dominance over the worldโ€™s most critical oil chokepoint.
"Selective" passage of vessels suggests a de facto blockade, which could escalate tensions with Iran and impact global energy markets.
Iran has previously warned that any attempt to block the Strait of Hormuz would trigger a response. Verification from the Pentagon and shipping sources will be key.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he is rejecting US President Donald Trump's 15-point "Board of Peace" plan for Gaza.
Netanyahu says Israel will not withdraw until Hamas fully disarms.

๐‚๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ:
Late last month, Trump announced the plan. It was criticized by several people within Israel.

The Gaza Board of Peace was established in January. It was criticized almost immediately as being a replacement for the UN Security Council.
The Board has been in intense negotiations with Hamas. One of its key public demands is that Hamas must disarm.
Hamas has said it is willing to disarm under the right conditions. Those conditions are being negotiated now.

The Board is headed by seasoned diplomat Nikolai Mladenov. He has been in Egypt, Washington, D.C., and several other locations for talks.
The Board has had some success - it has already issued construction plans for Gaza City. But on the political track, nothing has moved.
Negotiations between Israel and Hamas remain tough.

There is also talk of an international stabilization force for Gaza. Which countries would be involved and how it would be structured is still under discussion.

๐–๐ก๐ฒ ๐ˆ๐ญ ๐Œ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ:
Netanyahuโ€™s rejection is a major setback for the Trump-backed peace effort.
The core dispute remains: Israel demands full Hamas disarmament before withdrawal. Hamas wants guarantees on who it disarms to and how.
With construction plans ready but security talks stalled, the Board of Peace faces its biggest test yet on whether diplomacy can break the deadlock.

Iran has criticized the newly announced defense agreement between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey, saying it "will not guarantee Saudi Arabia's security."

๐‚๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ:
On the social media platform X, former Iranian parliament member and National Security and Foreign Policy Commission member Ibrahim Reza said Saudi Arabia should "reform its own policies instead of relying on external powers for security."

He argued that a defense agreement with Pakistan and Turkey "would not provide lasting security," drawing a comparison with Saudi Arabia's previous reliance on the U.S.

The trilateral agreement was signed in Mecca and establishes a mutual defense commitment. Under the pact, an attack on any signatory would be treated as an attack on all three.

๐–๐ก๐ฒ ๐ˆ๐ญ ๐Œ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ:
The pact marks a major shift in regional security, creating a formal defense bloc outside traditional U.S. guarantees.
Iranโ€™s pushback shows concern over a stronger Saudi-led alliance with two major Muslim military powers.
With tensions still high over the Strait of Hormuz and the wider Middle East, this agreement could reshape deterrence and alliances in the region.

"But understand this. Russia will never kneel. Our enemies expected chaos inside our borders. Instead, Russians became more united. Factories are running. Soldiers are fighting. And Moscow still stands strong under the Russian flag."

Trump said he was asked by Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia to hold off as diplomatic efforts play out.

"We had an attack that would be the biggest attack since World War II, and it could have been disastrous, and they didn't want us to do it," Trump said. "Frankly, Saudi Arabia didn't want it either. They thought that the deal was imminent."

The Strait of Hormuz is a key global oil route, and any agreement there would have major implications for shipping and energy prices.

๐–๐ก๐ฒ ๐ˆ๐ญ ๐Œ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ:
A pause in military action opens a window for diplomacy after days of escalation and threats to Hormuz.
Gulf states are actively mediating, signaling concern that a wider conflict would destabilize the region and oil markets.
If a deal is finalized, it could de-escalate tensions. If talks fail, the risk of the "biggest attack since WWII" returns.
