Trump Edges Toward New Strikes on Iran

Trump says Iran has only days to return to talks as U.S. forces keep 88 commercial vessels away from Iranian ports, officials said.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump claimed he delayed a major strike on the Islamic Republic after leaders from Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia urged dialogue, giving Iran "two or three days" to negotiate.
  • CENTCOM maintains a blockade on all vessels entering or leaving Iranian ports, redirecting 88 commercial ships since April 13, with Adm. Brad Cooper telling the House Armed Services Committee that American forces remain at the highest level of readiness.
  • Vice President JD Vance stressed at a Tuesday briefing that it "takes two to tango" regarding the potential to reset the relationship between Iran and the United States that has existed for 47 years.
  • Responding to threats, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi asserted that Iran is "prepared to confront any military aggression," writing on X that "for us, surrender holds no meaning."
  • Washington and Tehran remain deadlocked over the Islamic Republic's nuclear program and access to the Strait of Hormuz, while Trump prefers a deal to renewed fighting despite weighing military escalation options.
