US EditionTrump Says US-Iran Operations Are 'Extremely Ahead of Schedule' in Fourth Week
Trump claims US and Israeli strikes have destroyed most of Iran’s navy and air force while Iran denies negotiating and maintains control over the Strait of Hormuz.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump claimed Iran is "begging to make a deal," asserting he is not pushing for negotiations despite Tehran's rejection of his 15-point ceasefire proposal earlier this week.
- Envoy Steve Witkoff delivered a 15-point "action list" to Tehran via Pakistan outlining sanctions relief and nuclear program curbs; Iran countered with demands including sovereign control over the Strait of Hormuz and an end to hostilities.
- Israel confirmed an overnight airstrike in Bandar Abbas killed Iranian naval commander Alireza Tangsiri on Thursday. Adm. Brad Cooper, head of U.S. Central Command, hailed the strike, saying it put Iran's navy on a path toward "irreversible decline."
- While 63% of Republicans support airstrikes against Iranian military targets, an AP-NORC poll shows only 20% favor deploying American ground troops, suggesting the president risks frustrating his base during a midterm election year.
- Benchmark U.S. crude climbed 3% to $93.05 per barrel on Thursday amid shifting ceasefire signals, while rising energy costs since the war began nearly four weeks ago intensify financial pressure on American households.
