Iran-U.S. Hormuz Standoff Deepens Amid Negotiation Disputes
Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said there are no direct contacts with the United States and that any dialogue occurs only through Oman, emphasizing that the Hormuz Strait will not be reopened while U.S. actions continue. President Donald Trump echoed this view, calling the Iranian leadership "incredibly dissimulated" and asserting that Tehran negotiates solely with Oman about the strait.
Israeli security analyst Biton Rosen warned that the U.S. ultimatum to Iran could trigger a broader regional conflict, potentially drawing Israel into simultaneous fighting in Lebanon, Yemen and the West Bank, and noted that Israel may eventually need to conquer Gaza.
Following the collapse of a brief pause in talks, Iran launched attacks on a U.S. air base and command center in Jordan and fired ballistic missiles at other U.S. facilities in the Middle East. In response, the United States redeployed troops from Bahrain and Kuwait to Israel and Jordan, heightening tensions across the region.
