Pakistan has cited Trump as the main reason for the breakdown of negotiations with Iran

The naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz has become an obstacle to the resumption of dialogue between Washington and Tehran, leading to a significant escalation in the region. 

This was reported by Sky News. 

During a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump, the mediator in the negotiations, Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir, cited the actions of U.S. forces as the main barrier to diplomacy. In response, Trump stated that he had listened to the Pakistani side’s arguments and promised to review the information provided. The conflict in the strategically important strait remains a critical factor hindering the stabilization of relations and the signing of new agreements. While Washington is analyzing the mediator’s position, tensions surrounding the sea lanes continue to affect global energy security and Russian logistics. The situation requires further resolution at the highest political level to avoid a large-scale armed conflict.

Iranian authorities have officially announced their refusal to participate in the second round of peace talks with the United States, which were to take place in Pakistan.

Iran rejected Trump’s claims regarding the transfer of uranium to the U.S. and accused him of manipulation

The U.S. and Iran are negotiating a potential deal that would involve exchanging enriched uranium for the unfreezing of approximately $20 billion in Iranian assets. Washington’s primary goal in the negotiations is to prevent Iran from gaining access to significant stockpiles of enriched uranium and to reduce nuclear risks.

U.S. President Donald Trump also announced progress in negotiations with Iran, under which Washington would allegedly receive all of Tehran’s enriched uranium without any financial payments. 

Additionally, Israel agreed to a 10-day ceasefire with Lebanon and announced the start of a move toward a diplomatic settlement; however, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that the war against Hezbollah is not yet over and military operations will continue. 

Additionally, Iran announced new rules for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, which is one of the world’s key oil supply routes. Commercial vessels will now be able to transit only with permission from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy.
