After renewed US strikes, the president declared the interim accord with Tehran “over” and dismissed further negotiations as a waste of time.

For weeks, there has been discussion of a ceasefire, diplomacy, and a possible peace agreement between the United States and Iran.

Washington responds with extensive airstrikes following Iranian attacks on civilian vessels. Tehran accuses the United States of violating the ceasefire and vows consequences.

It is not a contest between moderates and hardliners that a rational negotiator can resolve.

Defense minister says any successor who revives Tehran’s campaign to destroy Israel will meet the same fate as Ali Khamenei.

A precedent-setting deal allows the IDF to operate against Hezbollah, but the Lebanese army’s capacity is in doubt, say experts.

Iran will be held accountable for its “sick attempt at global coercion,” the US ambassador to the United Nations told the UN Security Council.

“It’s a win-win outcome for the American people,” said the vice president.

Tehran’s supposed “moderates” may sit at the table, but Iran’s ruling clerics are making clear who still controls the agenda: no surrender of the nuclear program, no retreat from Hormuz, and no peace without vengeance.
