Donald Trump

The Iranian newspaper "Hamshahri" published a front-page image of U.S. President Donald Trump in a sniper’s crosshairs. Beneath it was the headline "Certain Revenge." An opinion column in the paper called for confronting the "war criminals" who eliminated the country’s leaders.

Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israel is preparing for the possibility that fighting with Iran could flare up again: "If Iran fires missiles at Israel, Israel will strike Iran with force — it could happen within two days."

President Donald Trump said Iran requested an official meeting in Doha as soon as tomorrow. In Tehran, officials pushed back: "The technical meetings of the working groups are not scheduled for this week."

The U.S. struck military targets in Iran overnight after attacks on ships near the Strait of Hormuz and American sites in Bahrain. It was the second U.S. strike in less than 24 hours, and President Donald Trump delivered a stark warning to Tehran. Iran said: “This is a blatant violation of the memorandum of understanding between the sides.”

Iran reportedly consulted psychologists and studied Trump’s negotiating style before a Hezbollah threat disrupted direct talks with JD Vance in Switzerland

President Donald Trump said there is no urgent need to reach Iran’s nuclear materials because they are buried deep underground. At the same time, he warned that negotiations would stop if it turns out Tehran is collecting payments from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

Despite Tehran’s denials, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said visits by agency inspectors to Iran’s nuclear facilities are explicitly included in the temporary memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran and are expected to begin soon.

The Iranian delegation said it is not prepared to continue the talks in Switzerland, after U.S. President Donald Trump said in an interview back home: "Iran must immediately stop its proxy in Lebanon from stirring up trouble. If they do not, we will hit Iran very hard."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday night publicly criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s policy for the first time. Speaking at the JNS International Policy Summit alongside U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee, Netanyahu drew a sharp comparison to how America would respond if terrorists across its border were killing its citizens. Huckabee added with a smile: "Before I came here, I checked to make sure I hadn’t been fired for backing Israel’s operations in Lebanon."

President Donald Trump threatened Iran over reports it could close the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said his country will not stop enriching uranium. Trump responded: "He should keep his mouth shut." On Lebanon, Trump added: "Israel can’t move Hezbollah."

Trump says he will likely support Netanyahu in Israeli elections but wants to review all candidates first.

Israeli officials fear U.S. pressure tied to the Iran track could lead to delayed weapons shipments and security restrictions

President Donald Trump, currently in France, and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, in Tehran, signed the memorandum of understanding overnight. Iran quickly stressed that control of the Strait of Hormuz will pass into its hands, and that Israeli ships will not be allowed to pass through it.

Now that the deal has officially been signed, the text and both sides’ statements are confirming Israel’s core security concerns

President Donald Trump said, "I gave Israel a copy of the memorandum of understanding with Iran." At the same time, he continued criticizing Israel’s conduct in Lebanon: "You don’t have to take down a building every time there’s a Hezbollah operative inside."

Trump said the MOU prevented “a worldwide depression,” arguing that continued bombing would damage markets and keep the Strait of Hormuz closed
