Trump Bombs Iran as Deal Collapses Despite Positive Talk
U.S. military forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran targeting missile launch sites and boats attempting to lay mines, following an incident where Iran fired surface-to-air missiles at U.S. warplanes. These actions occurred as President Donald Trump’s peace deal negotiations with Iran reportedly lost momentum due to disagreements over Tehran’s nuclear program and financial relief demands. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized the critical need for the Strait of Hormuz to remain open, stating it “will be open one way or another.” Despite the escalating tensions, President Trump continued to express optimism about the peace deal on social media, while also asserting that Iran’s enriched uranium would be destroyed.
