Trump says he is ready for military action if Iran talks fail, Axios reports
Trump said the pause gives diplomacy a chance, but he warned strikes could resume if talks do not secure safe shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
- On Monday, Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei stated Tehran is not negotiating with the United States, asserting that Iran "will never allow the United States to determine the timing of war and peace."
- Following 13 days of intensified strikes, President Donald Trump paused the U.S. bombing campaign over the weekend, though Iranian officials maintain the current situation "cannot be called a ceasefire."
- While United Nations Ambassador Mike Waltz claimed Sunday the strike pause aimed to facilitate talks, Baghaei clarified that ongoing discussions with Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz "are unrelated to the United States."
- Tensions also flared elsewhere, as the foreign ministry summoned the French ambassador yesterday to protest alleged "interference in Iran's internal affairs," warning that France must cease such actions.
- As hostilities threaten to push energy costs higher, the State Bank of Pakistan warned of inflation risks, though SBP Governor Jameel Ahmad hopes price pressures will subside in two months if the conflict does not escalate.
