👱🏼♂️🗣 TRUMP SAYS U.S. IS TALKING WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF TEHRAN ⋙ ✓💥BUT WARNS HE COULD “DESTROY THE REST OF IRAN”❗
While the American president says the talks “are going very well,” tensions in the Strait of Hormuz remain high, and Tehran is preparing for possible new attacks.
Donald $TRUMP said the U.S. is speaking with representatives of Tehran and that “we are doing very well with Iran,” following a phone call with the emir of Qatar. Days earlier, Trump had warned that the U.S. might need to “destroy the rest of Iran” and that people would “know soon” if he acted.
The IRGC said two oil tankers struck mines and caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz, and that it shot down an American drone over Qeshm Island. Another oil tanker reported an explosion while transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
Qatar’s prime minister urged the U.S. and Iran not to wait for the “perfect moment” to reach a deal. Iran is distributing iodine tablets to communities near nuclear facilities, fearing possible American attacks. The U.S. announced new Iran-related sanctions. An Iranian lawmaker said Trump “will not leave the region without paying the price.”
Trump’s rhetoric swings between diplomatic optimism and the threat of maximum military force. While saying that talks with Tehran are progressing, he is keeping the possibility of a devastating offensive on the table.
In the Strait of Hormuz, incidents involving oil tankers and the reported drone shootdown show that tensions on the ground remain high. The distribution of iodine in Iran and new U.S. sanctions reinforce an atmosphere of preparing for the worst.
💬 Do $TRUMP ’s statements that he is talking with Tehran while also threatening to “destroy the rest of Iran” indicate a genuine opening for diplomacy, or merely maximum pressure ahead of a possible new offensive?
