US-Iran Talks Stall as Trump Denies Reports, Iran Warns of War

Iranian state media announced that US-Iran talks had been halted due to the continued conflict in Lebanon. The report cited ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah as a key factor. US President Donald Trump immediately denied the claims, labeling them as 'fake news' in a statement. The White House did not provide further clarification on the status of the negotiations. An Iranian military official stated that 'war is inevitable' because Tehran would not surrender, indicating a firm stance against any concessions. This came as reports of strikes between Israel and Hezbollah continued, despite Trump's claim that 'shooting will stop.' The situation in Lebanon remained volatile, with no immediate resolution in sight. The divergence in statements highlights the growing tension between the US and Iran. While Iran emphasized the inevitability of war, the US sought to downplay the situation through Trump's public denials. The conflict in Lebanon continued to escalate, with no clear path to de-escalation.
