In a press conference at the White House, the US president expressed his views on the growing opposition to a potential conflict with Iran.
When asked to address Americans who are against the war, Trump responded bluntly, stating that those individuals are “foolish” in their stance.
According to Trump, the primary objective of any potential war with Iran is to prevent the country from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
Iranian authorities have announced plans to permit vessels from certain friendly nations to traverse the Strait of Hormuz, contingent upon the payment of security fees, according to sources speaking with Al Jazeera.
The Israeli Defense Forces have confirmed a significant escalation in their operations against Iran, with a series of coordinated strikes carried out across the country, including at three major airports.

Further details have emerged from the IRNA report outlining Iran’s stance on the US proposal to bring an end to the ongoing conflict.
The report reveals that Iran has chosen not to accept a ceasefire, instead calling for a complete cessation of hostilities.
The ripple effects of US and Israeli actions have been far-reaching, with a significant economic impact stemming from the ongoing conflict. Iran’s retaliatory efforts, aimed at what it considers US and Israeli assets and interests in the region, have now extended to the GCC countries. The UAE reported a series of attacks, including 12 ballistic missiles, two cruise missiles, and 19 drones, prompting officials to reiterate their demands for Iran to be held accountable and for hostilities to cease. GCC leaders are taking a cautious approach, heightening their defense readiness in response to the escalating situation and the looming threat of further retaliation.
A coordinated assault allegedly involving Yemen’s Houthi insurgency, Iran, and Hezbollah was said to have been directed at Israel’s Eilat, a city situated in the country’s south. According to a statement broadcast by Al-Masirah, a media outlet affiliated with the Houthi movement, the operation focused on several key military installations.
According to Colonel Saud Abdulaziz Al-Otaibi, a spokesperson for Kuwait’s Ministry of Defence, a residential area in the north of the country has been affected by falling shrapnel, resulting in reported injuries.
Colonel Al-Otaibi did not provide a specific number of individuals injured in the incident. However, he did confirm that the Kuwaiti armed forces had responded to a significant escalation in aerial attacks, which included 14 ballistic missile strikes, two cruise missile launches, and 46 drone incursions into the country’s airspace over the past 24 hours.
According to the IRNA news agency, Iran has formally submitted its response to Pakistan regarding the US proposal aimed at bringing an end to the ongoing conflict, with further updates to follow.
Further details have emerged from the Iranian News Agency’s (IRNA) coverage of Tehran’s response to Washington’s initiative to bring a close to the ongoing conflict.
The report:
A recent Israeli assault on a critical sector of the South Pars petrochemical complex, encompassing two power-generating plants, has resulted in a complete shutdown of power supply to the main facility and its parent company.
The strategic importance of South Pars extends far beyond its economic contributions to Iran, as it also plays a vital role in the daily lives of its citizens.
Given Iran’s status as the world’s fourth-largest consumer of liquefied natural gas (LNG), any disruptions to gas supplies entering the country to fuel power plants are likely to have a profound impact on both the population and the industry at large.
