US President Donald Trump warned that Iran “will never have a nuclear weapon” after 21-hour peace talks in Islamabad ended without agreement on Tehran’s nuclear programme. He accused Iran of failing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and violating international norms, while praising Pakistan’s leadership for facilitating the prolonged negotiations between the two sides.

United States President Donald Trump on Sunday issued a strong warning to Iran following inconclusive peace talks mediated by Pakistan, asserting that Tehran must quickly reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz and abandon its nuclear ambitions.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump accused Iran of failing to honour its promise to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, alleging that the country had placed mines in the waterway. He said the situation had caused global anxiety and disruption, noting that shipping companies would be reluctant to risk operating in potentially mined waters.

Trump said he had been fully briefed on the marathon negotiations held in Islamabad, which lasted nearly 21 hours. He praised the leadership of Asim Munir and Shehbaz Sharif for facilitating the talks, describing them as competent and cooperative in supporting diplomatic efforts.

Despite some progress on certain issues, Trump claimed the talks failed to achieve a key objective, convincing Iran to abandon its nuclear programme. He stated that the Iranian delegation, including Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, Abbas Araghchi and Ali Bagheri, remained firm on continuing nuclear development.
