US not ready to seek deal to end war with Iran, Donald Trump says

AI Summary

long article 5 min

Donald Trump stated the U.S. is not ready to negotiate a deal to end the U.S.-Israeli offensive against Iran, despite believing Iran desires a ceasefire. His comments followed renewed missile and drone attacks by Iran on Gulf countries and Israel, met by further U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran. The escalating conflict has disrupted global air travel, oil exports, and caused rising fuel prices. Trump indicated the U.S. may further target Iranian oil facilities and increase attacks to clear a path for oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran's supreme leader vowed to keep closed. Iran urged other nations to avoid actions that could escalate the conflict, while Trump called for international naval assistance to protect tankers in the Strait.
