'They're Sort of Crazy': Trump Claims Iran Wants to 'Make a Deal Badly' Amid Ongoing Strikes
CENTCOM said the new strikes aim to curb threats to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz as Trump says Iran is seeking a deal.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump claimed Iran wants to "make a deal so badly" following U.S. military strikes, though he expressed doubt about Tehran's willingness to honor any agreement.
- U.S. Central Command forces conducted additional strikes against Tehran to degrade its ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, responding to recent attacks on commercial shipping and civilian crews.
- Trump asserted American forces "hit them 20 to 1" during the strikes and claimed the Islamic Republic has very "little left" militarily, stating "every time they hit us, we're going to hit them 20."
- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi rejected Trump's characterization, asserting Iran does not "answer vulgarity with vulgarity, but with action: fearlessly and with great valor," as Chabahar experienced power cuts.
- Trump remained uncertain whether the U.S. and Iran are returning to full-scale military conflict but stated the U.S. would "win it very quickly" if war resumed, while acknowledging ongoing threats against Air Force One.
