US President Donald Trump on July 15 said that Iran is hoping to engage in discussions with Washington, but he is in no rush to talk with Tehran. Trump also reiterated his claim that the US bomber strikes last month 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear sites. ''m in no rush to talk because we obliterated their site. They'd have to start all over', Trump told reporters on July 15. The remarks come after Iran on July 14 ruled out new nuclear talks with the US if they were conditioned on Tehran abandoning its uranium enrichment. "If the negotiations must be conditioned on stopping enrichment, such negotiations will not take place," said Ali Velayati, an aide to Iran's Supreme Leader, as per reports.This comes as a new satellite image shows a US Carrier Strike Group, including the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier, deployed off the south coast of Oman. The deployment comes even as the US military withdrew another aircraft carrier against a backdrop of tentative hopes for easing tensions in the region. Analysts say that the presence of the Carrier Strike Group demonstrates preparedness for further conflict despite a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION4:50 'IRAN MIGHT WEAPONISE NUKE MATERIAL', SAYS BLINKEN7:26 'ISRAEL SABOTAGED US-IRAN TALKS AS IT FEARED…'

Reminds Me Of India-Pakistan Conflict': Donald Trump Claims Mediation Efforts In Thailand-Cambodia Clashes, Says He Spoke To Top Leaders

Thailand-Cambodia Conflict: United States President Donald Trump stated on Saturday (IST) that he had spoken with the leaders of Thailand and Cambodia to broker a ceasefire and end hostilities between the two nations. He drew a comparison to the India-Pakistan clashes that occurred in May. POTUS, in a series of posts on his Truth Social handle, said that he spoke with the Prime Minister of Cambodia, Hun Manet, and the acting PM of Thailand, Phumtham Wechayachai. He also added that both nations are looking for an immediate ceasefire and peace and have agreed to immediately meet. "Just spoke to the Prime Minister of Cambodia relative to stopping the War with Thailand. I am calling the Acting Prime Minister of Thailand, right now, to likewise request a Ceasefire, and END to the War, which is currently raging. We happen to be, by coincidence, currently dealing on Trade with both Countries, but do not want to make any Deal, with either Country, if they are fighting — And I have told them so!' his post read. 'The call with Thailand is being made momentarily. The call with Cambodia has ended, but expect to call back regarding War stoppage and Ceasefire based on what Thailand has to say. I am trying to simplify a complex situation! Many people are being killed in this War, but it very much reminds me of the Conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought to a successful halt," he added in the post. I have just spoken to the Acting Prime Minister of Thailand, and it was a very good conversation. Thailand, like Cambodia, wants to have an immediate Ceasefire, and PEACE. I am now going to relay that message back to the Prime Minister of Cambodia. After speaking to both Parties, Ceasefire, Peace, and Prosperity seems to be a natural. We will soon see! "I just had a very good call with the Prime Minister of Cambodia, and informed him of my discussions with Thailand, and its Acting Prime Minister. Both Parties are looking for an immediate Ceasefire and Peace. They are also looking to get back to the 'Trading Table' with the United States, which we think is inappropriate to do until such time as the fighting STOPS,' he also wrote. 'They have agreed to immediately meet and quickly work out a Ceasefire and, ultimately, PEACE! It was an Honor to deal with both Countries. They have a long and storied History and Culture. They will hopefully get along for many years to come. When all is done, and Peace is at hand, I look forward to concluding our Trading Agreements with both!' his post added. Meanwhile, according to ANI, local media reported that at least 14 Thais have been killed while over 100,000 people have fled amid escalating border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia. Furthermore, Bangkok Post cited the Thai interior ministry as saying that over 100,000 people from four border provinces of the country had been moved to nearly 300 temporary shelters, while the kingdom's health ministry announced that the death toll had risen to 14- thirteen civilians and one soldier. Thailand's Royal Army has denied reports from Cambodia that it targeted an ancient Hindu Temple in the Cambodian province of Preah Vihear, which has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Thailand and Cambodia have frequently clashed over their shared land border, a dispute that reportedly remains unresolved due to competing territorial claims dating back to the French colonial era.

Thailand-Cambodia tensions remind me of India-Pakistan conflict: Trump

US President Donald Trump on Saturday said the ongoing conflict between Thailand and Cambodia reminded him of the India-Pakistan dispute. He added that he was working to broker peace between the two Southeast Asian nations, which have been locked in escalating clashes since Thursday (July 24). "Many people are being killed in this War, but it very much reminds me of the Conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought to a successful halt," Trump wrote on Truth Social. He said he had already spoken to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and would shortly call Thailand's acting prime minister to press for a ceasefire. 'Just spoke to the Prime Minister of Cambodia relative to stopping the War with Thailand. I am calling the Acting Prime Minister of Thailand, right now, to likewise request a Ceasefire, and END to the War, which is currently raging,' he posted. 'We happen to be, by coincidence, currently dealing on Trade with both Countries, but do not want to make any Deal, with either Country, if they are fighting — And I have told them so! The call with Thailand is being made momentarily. The call with Cambodia has ended, but expect to call back regarding War stoppage and Ceasefire based on what Thailand has to say. I am trying to simplify a complex situation.' In another post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, "The call with Cambodia has ended, but expect to call back regarding War stoppage and Ceasefire based on what Thailand has to say. I am trying to simplify a complex situation!" Trump is currently in Scotland as part of a visit to his family-owned golf resort. Violence spreads to coastal areas Heavy fighting continued on Saturday, with explosions reported from coastal regions for the first time. This marked the third consecutive day of hostilities between the two countries. Shelling and gunfire intensified near several border villages, widening the scale of the conflict. The clashes, which began on July 24 following a landmine blast that injured five Thai soldiers, have now claimed at least 33 lives and displaced more than 168,000 people, according to an Associated Press report. Thousands displaced on both sides Cambodia's Information Minister, Neth Pheaktra, said on Saturday that 10,865 Cambodian families — about 37,635 people — in three provinces near the Thai border had been evacuated to safer areas. Meanwhile, Thai officials reported that over 131,000 residents had been forced to flee their homes due to the fighting. Cambodia appeals at UN for peace At an emergency United Nations Security Council meeting in New York on Friday, Cambodia's ambassador to the UN, Chhea Keo, called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. 'Cambodia asked for an immediate ceasefire – unconditionally – and we also call for the peaceful solution of the dispute,' he told reporters after the meeting. MEA response In its reaction to the conflict, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) advised Indian travellers in the region to contact the respective embassies in the two countries for any assistance. "We are closely monitoring the situation along the border between Cambodia and Thailand," MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.
