US-Iran Talks Collapse, Trump Threatens to Block Strait and Resume Limited Military Strikes, Iran Nuclear Issue Top Dispute

2 hours ago

**News Flash: U.S.-Iran Talks End Without Deal; Trump Orders Hormuz Blockade, Threatens Strikes** April 13 — U.S.-Iran negotiations stretched over 20 hours without a breakthrough Tuesday. Both delegations have left Pakistan, with prospects for further talks dimming. In post-meeting remarks, former President Trump (note: context aligns with original framing) noted Iran’s stated "maximum red line" is not possessing nuclear weapons. He ordered the U.S. Navy to blockade the Strait of Hormuz and intercept vessels paying tolls to Iran, while threatening to resume limited military strikes against the country. ### U.S. Developments - Trump and his advisors are weighing resuming limited strikes alongside the Hormuz blockade to break the peace talks deadlock. - Trump: "If the nuclear issue isn’t resolved, the Hormuz blockade starts immediately. NATO is ready to help secure the strait, and our Gulf allies have already begun assisting." - U.S. Central Command: As of 10 p.m. Beijing time (10 a.m. ET Wednesday), the military will block maritime traffic to Iranian ports. It will not hinder non-Iranian port-to-port transit in the strait. - U.S. official Vance: "No agreement was reached. Iran chose not to accept our conditions." - Trump: "The Iranians haven’t left the negotiating table yet—we expect them to come back and give us what we want. The talks ended very friendly, and we agreed on most issues besides the nuclear one." - Trump also warned: "We may target Iran’s desalination plants and power plants. Any Iranian who fires on our forces or peace ships will be sent straight to hell." ### Iranian Response - Iranian officials say they rejected three major "unreasonable demands" from the U.S. during talks. - Iranian President: "Iran is ready to reach a balanced, fair agreement. If the U.S. returns to the international legal framework, a deal is within reach." - Iran’s Parliament is advancing a proposal to ban fleets from "hostile countries" from passing through the Strait of Hormuz. - Iran’s Revolutionary Guard: Non-military vessels may pass through the strait, but any warship approaching will be deemed a ceasefire violation and face strong retaliation. ### Israeli & International Reactions - Israeli media reports: The Israeli military is preparing to launch new attacks on Iran. - Israeli assessment: The northern front will escalate within 48 hours; schools in border towns are being closed. - UK: Ruled out joining the U.S. Hormuz blockade. A government spokesperson said: "We’re working with France and other partners to build a broad alliance to protect freedom of navigation in the strait." - Pakistani Foreign Minister: Urged all parties to strictly adhere to ceasefire commitments. - Insider source: A second round of U.S.-Iran talks could take place within days.
