Iran reacted after Trump called off the attack.

Iran has denied claims by U.S. President Donald Trump that negotiations between the two countries are underway, stating there are currently no talks or planned meetings. Trump had previously threatened 'massive attacks' on Iran but later canceled them, citing potential diplomatic discussions. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Bagej stated that Iran has no plans to host foreign delegations or send negotiators abroad, except for Minister Abbas Arakchi who is on a pilgrimage in Iraq. The situation appears to follow a pattern since Trump began Operation 'Exodus' with Israel over five months ago, where he repeatedly threatened military action but then backed down, justifying it through diplomatic efforts. Iran has rejected negotiations with Washington since the collapse of the June understanding agreement aimed at ending the conflict. The dispute over control of the Strait of Hormuz remains a central point of contention, with the U.S. insisting Iran must open the strategically important waterway while Tehran claims the agreement explicitly guaranteed its authority over maritime traffic.

Tehran: 'Trump's latest comments could spark the third world war'

Iran has accused U.S. President Donald Trump of potentially igniting the spark of a Third World War through his actions, particularly regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Following Trump's statement that the Strait could be reopened 'literally tomorrow,' Iran's top advisor, Mohsen Rezaei, warned against any military presence near the Strait, stating that any warship approaching would be attacked. Trump outlined a two-step peace process involving reopening the Strait and Iran's nuclear disarmament. Meanwhile, Iran rejected direct negotiations with the U.S., opting instead to engage with Oman over a temporary solution for safe passage through the Strait. According to a high-ranking Iranian source, Iran and Oman are considering a plan where Iran would control all ships entering the Strait, while Oman would oversee their exit. This approach suggests Iran aims to bypass the U.S. after previous failed attempts at reaching an agreement.

The U.S. is implementing a naval blockade of Iran, redirecting 44 ships

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) reported that American naval forces continue to enforce a maritime blockade against Iran, redirecting dozens of commercial vessels during these operations. According to the statement, since August 3rd, CENTCOM has redirected 44 merchant ships, disabled two, and boarded two others. The escalation in tensions follows a series of military strikes between the U.S. and Iran, with both sides retaliating against each other’s assets in various Gulf states. Relations further deteriorated after the U.S. and Iran signed a Memorandum of Understanding in June to resume talks on a final agreement, but negotiations stalled over disagreements regarding security guarantees and freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical strategic route for global trade and energy supply.
