Overview
- Trump said Iran "is going to negotiate" and warned it would face problems "like they’ve never seen before" if it refuses.
- He said the United States will keep a naval blockade on Iranian ports until a deal is reached and claimed the move is already crippling Iran.
- Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Tehran will not negotiate under threats and warned of new battlefield options.
- Iran’s state news agency said Tehran will not attend new talks in Pakistan, and Pakistani outlets reported an unconfirmed push for a two‑week extension of the truce.
- The blockade and stalled talks raise risks for the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for about one‑fifth of seaborne oil, and for efforts to halt fighting in Lebanon.
