Even as some in his own party are starting to express skepticism, President Donald Trump remains resolute in his approach to the military operation in Iran.
Most recently, he provided an upbeat assessment of the situation while denouncing the criticism of those who aren’t involved in the decision-making process.
As Fox News reported:
President Donald Trump ripped Sen. Thom Tillis, Sen. Bill Cassidy and Rep. Thomas Massie in a Truth Social post defending his Iran negotiations, calling the lawmakers “weak and ineffective people” and “losers.”
ADVERTISEMENTSecretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters in India that the U.S. has presented what he called a “pretty solid” proposal to Iran involving reopening key straits and entering “a very real, significant, time limited negotiation” on nuclear issues, adding the Trump administration is awaiting Tehran’s response.
Trump said any agreement with Iran would be “the exact opposite” of the Obama administration’s nuclear deal, insisting there would either be a “great and meaningful” deal or no deal at all.
Hundreds of British sailors are reportedly awaiting deployment to the Strait of Hormuz for a potential mine-clearing mission, with the United Kingdom preparing sonar-equipped drones and naval support vessels amid concerns over possible Iranian mines in the key shipping route.
The updates continued on social media:

Here’s the latest on the state of talks between the US and Iran, per NBC News:
While Tehran acknowledged progress but played down the idea that an announcement could come soon, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said a deal was still possible Monday.
An agreement could be finalized “today,” Rubio said during a trip to India. He cautioned that if talks fail, Washington would find “another way” to resolve the situation.
As a flurry of diplomacy unfolded from the Middle East to China, Iran’s top negotiators were in Qatar — an increasingly central player in the accelerating efforts to secure a deal that would end the three-month war and restore shipping through the crucial Strait of Hormuz trade route.
