Trump cites progress in talks with Iran and calls off new strikes

U.S. President Donald Trump has called off new military strikes on Iran, hours after threatening to escalate the war. Trump said in the Oval Office on Thursday that a deal to end the war is close, without giving details. Trump hours earlier threatened to launch major strikes on Iran and to seize control of its oil and gas industries as escalating attacks between the countries pushed the Middle East closer to full-scale war. The threats came after the U.S and Iran traded strikes for a second straight day. Trump has claimed multiple times the U.S. and Iran are on the verge of a peace deal without anything coming to fruition.

“Do you know, we’ve been taking out millions of barrels of oil?” #Trump said. “Nobody knows it. You know who doesn’t know about it? Iran. Until right now. We took out the other night, 22 ships late at night with no lights, because they don’t have any radar, because we blasted the crap out of it.”

Trump claimed that US forces have been removing millions of barrels of #oil on a nightly basis, & he had previously “wanted to say it so badly.”

Jackass.

#Trump seems to suggest the #US is ferrying #oil out of the #StraitOfHormuz

Trump seemed to say that “millions of barrels of oil” have been secreted past #Iran forces in the Strait, helping to ease #energy price pressures [if so, it’s not working].

In a black-&-white video accompanying the statement, a small object can be seen slamming into the back of the ship before a large explosion erupts. Afterwards, the video zooms out, & the ship is seen floating, but with smoke billowing from the back.

The #US military disabled an 8th merchant vessel in the waters off #Iran Tuesday, CENTCOM announced on social media.

According to CENTCOM, US forces disabled Palau-flagged M/T Settebello, which they say was trying to transport #oil from Iran, after their crew failed to comply with their directions. “A US aircraft fired precision munitions into the ship’s engine room,” the statement said.

#Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that the US would be striking #Iran again on Wednesday after a helicopter collision with an Iranian drone.

“We’re going to hit them again hard today,” Trump said. He wouldn’t say if he planned to follow through on threats he made earlier in the #war to attack bridges & #utilities.

He urged Iran to sign a deal with the #US, saying “we were really close to a deal but they keep tapping us along.”

Israel and Iran appear to pause strikes after trading fire

Israel and Iran appear to be backing away from further strikes, just hours after they traded fire for the first time since the U.S. and Tehran agreed to a ceasefire two months ago. However, both countries warned Monday that they remain ready to launch retaliatory attacks if provoked. The renewed fighting raised concerns that the Middle East could be plunged back into a full-scale war. Iran's military says it has halted offensive strikes but will respond to aggression by Israel or its allies. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also hinted the latest round of fighting is over. But he said Israel will respond with force if attacked further by Iran.

Israel says Iran has launched missiles at it

Israel says Iran has launched missiles at it in the first such bombardment since a fragile ceasefire took effect in early April, complicating mediation efforts for a deal to end the war. Tehran had warned of retaliation after Israel on Sunday struck Beirut’s southern suburbs in defiance of Washington’s request days ago to stand down. Israel said the Iranian-backed Hezbollah fired at northern Israel earlier in the day. Israel’s attack on Beirut came a few days after the Lebanese and Israeli governments agreed to a ceasefire in U.S.-hosted talks, though Hezbollah rejected the deal. Iran wants any ceasefire deal to include the Lebanon situation.

The 215-208 vote marked the first time that such a measure has cleared the #House or #Senate on a final vote since the start of the #IranWar >3 months ago, reflecting growing impatience with a war Congress hasn’t authorized.

The effort faces sizable hurdles, however, before Congress could force #Trump to end hostilities.
