Has Iran delivered the biggest blow yet to Trump? Tehran goes silent, demands IDF pullouts quickly

Iran reportedly froze indirect talks with the U.S. after accusing Israel of sabotaging diplomacy through renewed strikes in Lebanon and Gaza. Iranian media claimed Tehran halted all backchannel exchanges through mediators until Israel ends military operations and withdraws forces. As tensions surged, Donald Trump admitted Washington may have been “talking too much” and hinted at going “silent” on Iran while maintaining blockades and pressure. Tehran also warned of possible responses involving the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab, raising fears of wider regional escalation as Trump faced his biggest Iran diplomacy test yet.
