Donald Trump said Iran's revised proposal to resolve the ongoing conflict was 'not enough,' citing what he described as infighting and confusion within Iran's leadership. He ordered United States envoys to cancel a planned trip to Pakistan for further talks, stating that Washington holds the advantage and that Tehran could initiate contact if it wished to negotiate.

The cancellation disrupted mediation efforts in Islamabad, where Iran's foreign minister had been meeting Pakistani officials. Although Iranian representatives described the discussions as productive, Iran's president said Tehran would not enter what he called 'imposed negotiations' conducted under threats or blockades, and urged the removal of restrictions including limits affecting Iranian ports.

Tensions remain high across the region despite a ceasefire that followed airstrikes by the United States and Israel on Iran in late February. Iran has since launched strikes against Israel, United States bases, and Gulf states, while also restricting traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global energy shipments. The conflict has driven energy prices to multi-year highs and raised concerns about inflation and global economic growth.
