Trump Says More Talks With Iran Expected This Week, Warns Tehran 'Overplayed' Its Hand

US President Donald Trump said he expects further talks with Iran this week, while warning that Tehran had "overplayed" its hand in the ongoing standoff over the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump's comments came after he rejected an Iranian proposal aimed at lifting the blockade and reopening the strategic waterway, through which a large share of the world's oil exports pass. He indicated that the military option remains on the table despite the prospect of renewed negotiations.

The remarks reflect the tense back-and-forth between Washington and Tehran over the fate of the strait, with both sides reportedly continuing to exchange proposals through indirect channels even as rhetoric hardens in public statements.

Trump did not elaborate on what specific elements of Iran's proposal he found unacceptable, though his description of Tehran having "overplayed" its hand suggests Washington views its own negotiating position as strengthened.

The dispute over the Strait of Hormuz has drawn close attention from international markets and governments given the waterway's central role in global energy supply chains. Any prolonged disruption or escalation carries the risk of broader economic and security repercussions.

Further talks between the two sides are expected this week, though it remains unclear whether they will lead to a resolution or simply extend the current impasse.
