Trump on Iran War: Also, we would run out of reserves at about 4 weeks, you know, there are reserves all over the world, and we would really run out, and there'll be a time when you wouldn't be able to get it.
Fars News, an IRGC-linked Iranian outlet, reported that U.S. officials and mediators privately told Tehran during indirect exchanges to ignore Donald Trump’s Truth Social posts, saying they were aimed mainly at U.S. domestic audiences and did not reflect Washington’s negotiating position
BREAKING: Donald Trump just said the Strait of Hormuz will be “jointly controlled, and maybe controlled by me and the Ayatollah.”
The same man who 36 hours ago threatened to “obliterate” Iranian power plants now proposes co-managing the world’s most important oil chokepoint with the leader of the country he is bombing. In the same breath, Trump said: “It is not the Supreme Leader; nobody has heard from him, and we don’t know if he is living.”
He is proposing to jointly control the strait with a man he simultaneously says may be dead.
While Trump was saying this, the IDF confirmed it had just completed a “wide-scale wave of strikes” on Tehran using over 100 munitions. Targets included a Quds Force command post, an IRGC aerial defence headquarters, an IRGC Ground Forces headquarters in “a large military compound in the heart of Tehran,” a Quds Force intelligence headquarters, a Ministry of Defence naval cruise missile manufacturing site, and multiple ballistic missile, warhead, and electronics research facilities. The IDF reports it has destroyed approximately 330 of Iran’s estimated 470 ballistic missile launchers. Iranian fire has collapsed from 90 missiles per day on Day 1 to approximately 10. The IAF is now hunting the remaining 140.
While Trump was saying this, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated for the third time today that there have been “no direct or indirect talks with Washington” and that Iran’s position on the Strait of Hormuz “has not changed in any way.”
While Trump was saying this, Iran delivered the sentence that should be read by every head of state on Earth: “You struck our hospitals, we did not do the same. You struck our emergency centres, we did not do the same. You struck our schools, we did not do the same. But if you strike electricity, we will strike electricity.”
That is not a threat. That is a ledger. Iran is publicly recording what it has NOT done to establish the legal and moral basis for what it WILL do. The ledger says: we absorbed hospitals. We absorbed schools. We absorbed emergency centres. Electricity is the line. Cross it and the regional grid becomes a battlefield. Every desalination plant. Every hospital ventilator. Every water treatment system in the Gulf that runs on power.
Trump then claimed Iran agreed to hand over “nuclear dust.” He said “we’ve agreed to that.” Iran has agreed to nothing publicly. Trump is negotiating in public with a counterparty that says it is not at the table, proposing to share a strait with a leader whose existence he questions, claiming a nuclear deal that the other side has not acknowledged, while his air force drops 100 munitions on the capital of the country he says he is dealing with.
Rosatom is evacuating Bushehr nuclear plant to a skeleton crew. The 5-day clock is ticking. The 140 remaining launchers are being hunted. The strait is closed. And the man who controls the world’s largest military just proposed co-managing the world’s most important waterway with a man who may not be alive to sign the agreement.
The molecules do not negotiate with ghosts. The molecules wait.

Reporter: Are you going to demand that Delcy Rodriguez allow opposition figures to return or free any political prisoners?
Trump: We haven't gotten to that. Right now, we want to do is fix up the oil
