'Too late for talks...': Trump shuts door on Iran negotiations as Mid-East war continues to escalate

U.S. President Donald Trump declared it was “too late” for talks with Iran even as he claimed Tehran had privately signalled willingness to negotiate. Iran’s security chief Ali Larijani had earlier rejected the assertion, saying diplomacy with Washington was “off the table” and accusing Trump of dragging the region into chaos. The war entered its fourth day with Israel launching fresh strikes in Tehran and Iran targeting U.S. and Israeli sites. The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh was hit by drones, while Iran reported damage to the Golestan Palace amid escalating cross-border attacks.
