Trump says Iran is ready to negotiate a ceasefire but he's not ready to make a deal

Trump declared Iran militarily defeated after U.S.-Israeli strikes on 90 targets including Kharg Island but refused deal terms, urging allies to secure the Strait of Hormuz amid rising oil prices.

  • President Donald Trump, boarding Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, said that Iran has been defeated and wants a deal he would not accept.
  • Defense officials reported that U.S. strikes have hit more than 15,000 enemy targets, with additional deployments including 2,500 Marines, an amphibious assault ship, and roughly 8,000 American troops at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar.
  • As U.S. strikes continued, Tehran launched more drone and missile attacks on Israel and neighbouring Gulf states, while Iran’s armed forces warned any attack on oil infrastructure would trigger strikes on U.S.-linked facilities.
  • Amid closed shipping lanes, diplomats signalled talks remain off the table as Abbas Araghchi said, 'I don't think talking with the Americans would be on our agenda anymore', while Trump warned the U.S. Navy would soon escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.
