Trump Sends U.S. Team to Pakistan After Iran Disputes Strait Claims
President Donald Trump says U.S. negotiators will head to Pakistan Monday to restart Iran talks, but the diplomacy push is colliding with fresh tension over the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Reuters and The Washington Post, the talks are meant to extend a fragile ceasefire, yet Iran has not confirmed it will participate, citing ongoing U.S. naval blockades and distrust of Washington.
The situation escalated after Trump publicly claimed progress in negotiations and suggested Iran had made concessions—statements Iranian officials quickly denied.

The Guardian reported that those claims, including social media messaging about the strait reopening, triggered backlash in Tehran and contributed to Iran shutting the waterway again.
At the same time, Trump warned the U.S. could strike Iranian infrastructure if no deal is reached.
With global oil flows disrupted and ships avoiding the region, the outcome of Monday’s talks now carries immediate economic and military stakes.
