President Trump hinted on 23 March that recent talks between Iran and the US have been very productive, aiming for a comprehensive resolution of Middle Eastern hostilities.

U.S. President Donald Trump says he is considering ‘winding down’ the Middle East military operation, but his statement seemed at odds with his administration’s move to send more troops and warships to the region.

President Trump on Saturday threatened to “hit and obliterate” Iran’s power plants within 48 hours unless the Islamic Republic agreed to “fully” reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil shipping route in the Persian Gulf.

As Iran threatens to mine the entire Persian Gulf, President Trump said his deadline for the Strait of Hormuz to reopen is postponed amid negotiations with Tehran.

US President Donald Trump has described the assistance Ukraine is providing to countries in the Middle East as political PR by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
