US President Donald Trump has sharply escalated rhetoric on Iran, pairing a renewed push for talks with explicit military threats. While Washington says a ‘fair’ deal is on the table and a delegation is headed to Islamabad, Tehran has signalled it is not ready to engage, demanding an end to the US blockade first. The standoff has intensified around the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil route, raising economic and security concerns. With both sides trading accusations and a fragile ceasefire nearing expiry, the situation remains tense, with upcoming talks in Pakistan seen as a critical test for diplomacy.
