Trump admits Iran war hurt Republicans as blame game erupts
Blame game erupts over the crushing defeat as Democrats punish incumbent administration for high cost of living
Iran and the United States remain far from reaching a deal to end their ongoing conflict, according to a senior Iranian official. Despite US President Donald Trump's readiness for military action, he remains "not looking to kill lots of people" and is in no hurry for strikes. Trump also made it clear that he is content with the current state of the standoff and suggested he is open to indirect negotiations with Iran.
However, Iran's top negotiator warns that the US must fully address Iran's seven conditions before the Strait of Hormuz can be reopened. Mediators from Qatar are actively working on bridging the gap between Iran and the US, but both sides have expressed skepticism about the likelihood of a deal. Iran's armed forces are preparing for any potential US aggression, with target lists including US and Israeli assets.
The conflict has also spilled over into Yemen, where the Houthis have intensified their attacks on Saudi Arabia.
