Donald Trump reports on ongoing military campaign against Iran

United States President Donald Trump announced that the American military campaign against Iran has entered its third week, with over 7,000 targets struck across the country. Trump claims that the operation has destroyed Iran's air force and navy, including over 100 naval vessels and 30 mine-laying ships, while significantly reducing the country's missile and drone capabilities. He argued that these actions were necessary to prevent a broader conflict and a potential nuclear war that could lead to World War III. Despite Trump's assertion that Iran is seeking a deal, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi denied that Tehran has requested any negotiations or a ceasefire. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bager Ghalibaf dismissed Trump's claims of military victory as hyperbolic. The U.S. continues to call on allies to assist in securing the Strait of Hormuz, with reports suggesting potential future strikes on Iranian oil infrastructure at Kharg Island. Both sides currently maintain conflicting narratives regarding the state of diplomatic communications and the success of the military engagement.
