Trump again declares ceasefire over but says US has agreed to talks with Iran
Mediators are pressing both sides to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and curb Iran’s nuclear program after a week of strikes, officials said.
- During an interview with Fox News Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst on Tuesday, President Donald Trump said he is not interested in negotiating a ceasefire with Iran, complicating hopes for a diplomatic conclusion to the war.
- Hostilities began under President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in February, escalating after Iran allegedly violated the MOU regarding tanker travel through the Strait of Hormuz; Iran claimed the MOU requires vessels to arrange passage through its territorial waters via Oman.
- Regarding oil infrastructure, Trump said, "Just leave that little area from 25 yards out. Leave that little area, don't touch the oil," explaining he avoids hitting the energy sector because it remains a chunk of the world economy.
- Trump refused to rule out a ground invasion, noting, "Sometimes you need a ground campaign," and added that despite having a deal three days ago, he currently refuses to negotiate, claiming he is speaking with the "wrong people."
- Declining to confirm plans for Kharg Island, Trump suggested relying on other Iranians to perform a ground campaign as the blockade and strikes continue, maintaining a hardline stance against the regime.

Why Are We Still Negotiating with Iran? – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics
