In a Truth Social post, former U.S. President Donald Trump denied reports from The New York Times and CNN, stating he is not eager to end the war with Iran and is under no pressure to do so. He claimed U.S. naval forces have severely crippled Iran's military capabilities and asserted that time is running out for Iran to negotiate a deal on U.S. terms.
President Donald J. Trump stated in a speech that he is under no pressure to end military operations against Iran, asserting that Iran's military capabilities have been severely diminished and that the United States will only negotiate when it is advantageous for America and its allies.
The Pentagon denied media reports suggesting U.S. forces might need up to six months to clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz, stating a six-month closure is "impossible and entirely unacceptable." The Pentagon spokesperson made these comments during an interview with BBC Global, refuting reports based on leaked information from a closed meeting.
Pezeshkian, Ghalibaf, and Araghchi have posted nearly identical tweets calling for unity, coinciding with reports that Ghalibaf is stepping down from negotiations.
