Middle East

The President of the United States said “we ran for our lives” when he withdrew the Ford. “It was over.” The Commander-in-Chief calls into question the Navy’s account of a laundry fire and gives credence to Iran’s claims of having struck the ship.

Trump: US in 'serious discussions' with 'new and more reasonable' Iranian regime - but repeats energy threats​

Donald Trump says the US is in "serious discussions" with a new Iranian regime which the president says could "end our military operations in Iran".

In a post on Truth Social, Trump writes: "The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran.

"Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately 'Open for Business,' we will conclude our lovely 'stay' in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet 'touched'.

"This will be in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old Regime’s 47 year 'Reign of Terror'."
 
imagine if roles were reversed and Iran (or any country) had started bombing the US, blowing up a school full of children (we would call it terrorism), and later demanding a ceasefire agreement...we would laugh/scoff in their smug faces...
 
President Trump on Monday said the U.S. is engaged in serious talks with a "new" and "more reasonable" regime in Iran as the war enters its fifth week.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during an appearance on @goodmorningamerica, declined to say who exactly the U.S. is negotiating with.

He didn't leave out oil wells. How stupid. If Iran finally decides it's time to settle the war after all that destruction, who knows how long it will take oil prices to go back down where they were.
 

White House briefing offers few answers BBC​

Bernd Debusmann Jr
White House reporter

We've just wrapped up a brief and largely uninformative briefing from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, leaving many questions about what happens next.

For one, there's still little clarity on how or when this conflict might end. Leavitt insisted that the four to six-week timeline "feels right" and that talks are hapening behind the scenes - and going well.

However, we don't know who those talks are with, and Leavitt admitted Iranian officials are struggling to communicate after strikes on the country's command and control systems.

There was also little detail on the administration's thinking about deploying ground troops to seize Kharg Island and help secure the Strait of Hormuz, or entering Iran to secure highly enriched uranium - the Trump administration's main reason for launching Operation Epic Fury.

Leavitt again mentioned the president having "optionality" on military options, which will do little to assuage the concerns of many Americans uneasy with the prospect of US soldiers fighting another conflict in the Middle East.
