Trump Says US-Iran Operations Are 'Extremely Ahead of Schedule' in Fourth Week

Trump claims Iran is seeking a deal amid U.S.-Israeli strikes and Iranian attacks disrupting the Strait of Hormuz, with a 15-point U.S. proposal delivered via Pakistan.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump claimed Iran is 'begging to make a deal,' though Iranian officials denied any negotiations are underway, leaving both sides at an impasse as the war enters its fourth week.
  • Washington delivered a 15-point 'action list' to Tehran via Pakistan, which includes limits on uranium enrichment and ballistic missiles; Trump previously threatened to attack Iranian power plants unless it opened the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Iran currently restricts the Strait of Hormuz, which carries about 20 per cent of global oil supplies, operating it as a 'de facto toll booth,' while Brent crude prices have surged more than 40% since the war began.
  • Thousands of U.S. troops, including 2,500 Marines on the USS Tripoli and 1,000 paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne, have deployed to the region; regional strikes have killed more than 1,900 people in Iran and at least 13 American troops.
  • Trump envoy Steve Witkoff cited 'strong signs' the U.S. could convince Iran to de-escalate, though Ali Bahreini, Iran's envoy to the U.N. in Geneva, warned that any ground invasion would be a 'big' mistake.
