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.

🚨 US strikes Iran again.

#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.

Twenty-one strikes before dawn. Missiles and drones thrown at American bases from Jordan to the Gulf while most of this country slept, and a two-month ceasefire now hangs by a thread you could snap with a held breath. The desalination plants are rubble. The water that came out of them is not. Smoke stands over Tehran in the morning light like a question nobody wants to answer aloud. A government that finds the money to bomb a water plant — and not the will to fund the diplomacy that would make the bomb unnecessary — has told you exactly what it worships.
