US EditionTrump Has Rejected Middle Eastern Allies' Attempts to Start Negotiations to End Iran War: Reuters
The Trump administration rejects ceasefire talks despite over 2,000 war deaths and ongoing military strikes, focusing on weakening Iran’s military as oil supply disruptions escalate.
- On March 14, 2026, Reuters reported President Donald Trump's administration rebuffed Middle Eastern allies' offers to open talks to end the Iran war that began two weeks earlier with a massive U.S.-Israeli air assault.
- Oman and Egypt repeatedly tried to reopen communications and mediate, but a senior White House official confirmed the administration is not interested and focused on weakening Tehran's military capabilities.
- U.S. strikes on Kharg Island on Friday night underscored determination, and a senior White House official said, 'For now, Operation Epic Fury continues unabated.'
- Two senior Iranian sources said Tehran will reject any ceasefire until U.S. and Israeli strikes stop and Iran's conditions are met, while Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps refuses ceasefire talks fearing loss of the Strait of Hormuz.
- The lack of interest from Washington and Tehran suggests both sides are digging in for an extended conflict, while some U.S. officials warn surging gasoline prices could hurt Trump's Republican Party ahead of midterm elections and others press to sustain the offensive against Iran's missile program.
