POLICY WIRE — Washington, USA — US President Donald Trump has declared his indifference towards a potential Iran deal, labeling it as ‘worthless,’ as both nations engage in fresh strikes.

Trump expressed his stance on Truth Social, stating he is not pushing Iran to negotiate. He emphasized his preference for the current situation, highlighting US control over the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s economic downturn.

The conflict escalated with US forces targeting Iran’s southern coast and Iran retaliating against American bases in the region. The US Central Command confirmed strikes on Iranian military targets, including air defenses and maritime assets.

Iran accused the US of attacking a wedding party, resulting in casualties, and vowed severe responses to American aggression. Meanwhile, oil prices surged to $92 per barrel of Brent crude due to the ongoing tensions.
