Trump announced that he was withdrawing from the Iran deal
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States had effectively wiped Iran off the map, achieving its objectives weeks ahead of schedule.
In a post on the social media platform Truth Social, the American leader emphasized that despite Iran’s desire to conclude a peace agreement, he refuses to negotiate. According to Trump, Iran’s leadership has vanished, and the country’s navy and air force have been completely destroyed, leaving the state defenseless.
This statement was a response to criticism from New York Times analyst David Sanger, who expressed doubt that Washington had achieved strategic results. Trump called the coverage of his actions incompetent and emphasized that the operation had been completed successfully and ahead of schedule. The situation in the Middle East continues to influence global politics, particularly negotiations with China and Russia’s efforts to support its allies in the region. While the White House reports a military victory, the absence of official agreements maintains a high level of tension on the international stage.
U.S. President Donald Trump issued an ultimatum to Tehran, demanding that the Strait of Hormuz be fully opened within 48 hours.
As a reminder, Tehran began allowing commercial vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz only for a fee.
In addition, French President Emmanuel Macron announced the start of consultations with key partners on establishing a UN mechanism to ensure the security of the Strait of Hormuz.
Recall that war in the Middle East threatens global food security, according to Al Jazeera.
Donald Trump stated that after the “demise” of the Iranian regime, control of the Strait of Hormuz should be taken over by American allies. He criticizes Europe for its unwillingness to send ships to escort tankers. The U.S. is ready to leave patrolling to its allies if Iran falls.
