US-Iran-Israel War News LIVE Updates: US President Donald Trump on Monday renewed his warning to Iran, saying Washington would either strike a deal with Tehran or “finish the job”, even as former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s funeral was underway.
While asserting that the US could cripple Iran’s infrastructure within hours, Trump said he preferred diplomacy over military action.
The remarks came as tensions in the Gulf escalated after a tanker caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz early Tuesday following a projectile strike, according to the British military. Iranian state media claimed the vessel came under attack after ignoring warnings and attempting to use a route through Omani waters that Tehran has discouraged, though it stopped short of claiming responsibility.
The latest incident has renewed concerns over security in the strategic waterway, a vital artery for global energy supplies.
