AI Summary

short article 1 min

President Trump is considering airstrikes against Iran, with the final decision partly influenced by the advice of special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner regarding Iran's commitment to nuclear negotiations. Trump is weighing limited strikes to pressure Iran or a larger attack for regime change if a deal isn't reached. Iran has threatened strong retaliation to any US attack, including potentially sinking a US warship. The US is preparing for "last-ditch" negotiations with Iran on Thursday. Additionally, a 15% tariff announced by Trump has not yet been implemented but could be enacted at any time.
