Iran-US war: Trump tells Americans to ‘sit back and relax’ as sides exchange fresh strikes
Iran has withdrawn from negotiations with the United States to end the war, citing Israel‘s intensified military operations in Lebanon as the reason.
Iranian officials warned that their armed forces’ patience has limits and threatened to block key shipping lanes like the Strait of Hormuz to retaliate against Israel and its allies.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered further attacks on Beirut’s southern suburbs and expanded ground operations in Lebanon, prompting an evacuation order for residents.
US forces intercepted two Iranian ballistic missiles targeting American personnel in Kuwait, with Iran‘s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claiming responsibility for striking a US-used air base.
Despite diplomatic efforts, including a US proposal for gradual de-escalation, the peace process remains fragile, with Iran criticising the US negotiating stance and hostilities continuing.
