The United States and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire on Tuesday night, just 90 minutes before a deadline President Donald Trump had set to launch massive strikes against Iranian civilian infrastructure. The deal, brokered by Pakistan, pauses a six-week conflict that has killed thousands and triggered a global energy crisis.

US President Donald Trump said Tuesday he is in heated negotiations with Iran just hours before his ultimatum for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face massive attacks on its civilian infrastructure expires.

The United States and Israel struck Iran's Kharg Island, the country's main oil export terminal, on Tuesday, hours before President Donald Trump's ultimatum for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face massive attacks on its power plants and bridges expires.

US President Donald Trump threatened Sunday to bomb Iran's power plants and bridges if Tehran fails to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping by Tuesday at 8:00 PM Eastern Time.

By Gwynne Dyer - The Iranians know they have won, but President Trump doesn’t get it yet. He’s still at the stage of counting up the US and Israeli air-strikes and assuming that those numbers mean a US victory is possible. But five gets you ten that the Iranians are already thinking about nuclear weapons. Not their own, which don’t exist. America’s.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that the military operation against Iran is “two weeks ahead” of schedule, demanded the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and sharply criticized European NATO allies for refusing to join the campaign. “When these times come, you learn who your real friends are,” he told an audience of a thousand investors at the FII Priority forum in Miami.

Iran rejected on Wednesday the 15-point proposal put forward by the Trump administration to end the war, calling its terms excessive and detached from reality, while international mediators scramble to arrange a direct meeting between representatives of both countries that could be, they warn, the last chance to prevent a broader escalation.

A social media post by Republican operative Marc Zell urging the Trump administration to reconsider its position on the Falklands/Malvinas and support Argentina's sovereignty claim triggered a wave of coverage across Argentine media over the past week, despite being based on a false premise and carrying no official backing from Washington.

Iran warned on Sunday that it will treat energy and oil infrastructure across the Middle East as “legitimate targets” if the United States attacks its power plants, responding to President Donald Trump's ultimatum issued late Saturday.

US President Donald Trump escalated his rhetoric against NATO allies on Friday, lambasting them as cowards for refusing to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic waterway that has remained effectively closed since the start of the war with Iran. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump declared that without the US military, NATO amounts to nothing more than a paper tiger, and warned that Washington would not forget the alliance's stance.
