Iran has refused to join fresh negotiations in Pakistan, setting a clear condition: the U.S. must first lift its naval blockade. The decision comes amid rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, where global shipping remains under threat. Tehran says talks cannot proceed under pressure, while Washington continues to enforce the blockade as leverage. The standoff is deepening diplomatic deadlock, with both sides hardening positions. As mediation efforts continue, the crisis risks further escalation across one of the world’s most critical energy corridors.#Iran #US #Trump #Hormuz #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #War #Diplomacy #Oil #GlobalTensions #Security #Pakistan #Crisis #WorldNews
