NEW: Qatar’s prime minister arrives in Tehran as the push to de-escalate the war runs headfirst into a warning from President Trump: the U.S. will keep fighting as long as necessary.
Tensions remain high in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran says the critical waterway will stay closed until Washington accepts its demands. The U.S., meanwhile, is tightening the economic squeeze with additional sanctions.
Inside Iran, the pressure is mounting. Long gas lines, rising inflation and a weakening currency are deepening economic hardship and raising concerns that protests could erupt again. | @TreyYingst
The White House says the Iranian regime is already reeling, and President Trump is pulling "every economic lever" to increase the pressure.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says inflation in Iran is above 100% and the regime is struggling to pay its police and military, while also dealing with the damage inflicted during Operation Epic Fury.
Trump's goal, she says, remains unchanged: making sure Iran "can never obtain a nuclear weapon, period."

Dear friends on X:
I could use some prayers right now. I’m at the ER with burning stomach pains that have been getting worse. I can’t afford to be sick right now. Super Bubba, my cancer warrior, and my other kids need me.
I’m so overwhelmed by all of this happening at once. It’s like I can’t even make this stuff up.
Please pray for us 🙏💛🎗️

NEW: Meta agrees to pay up to $17 billion and make sweeping changes to Facebook and Instagram for minors, bringing a landmark federal trial over claims its platforms harmed children to an abrupt end.
@ClaudiaCowanFox reports the settlement with 29 states would require stronger age verification, usage limits, overnight restrictions and breaks, along with bans on features like plastic surgery filters.
Meta denies wrongdoing, according to court documents. The deal still needs court approval and would remain in effect for the next 10 years.

Well, I just got the news that my buddy Dolly passed onto the higher and greater side.
Dolly, thank you for all the wonderful things you did for us here on earth.
Your love, your music and you gave so much with your huge huge heart.
There will never ever be another you.
We will remember and cherish every memory and every note you ever played and sang.
Thank you, Lord, for Dolly.
She’s gonna have a blast in heaven singing all her favorite songs with all her family and friends who have gone on before her.
I’ll never forget the first time I met you and I’ll never forget our last conversation. I hold it with love in my heart.
I will always love you,
