[US-Israel, Iran War Day #103] Trump Warns Iran: Accept Deal or Face More Bombing

In Brief…

• Iran’s foreign ministry said on Thursday that US strikes on Iran had effectively made the ceasefire meaningless and warned that Washington would bear responsibility for the “very dangerous consequences of the escalation.”
• US President Donald Trump warned that Washington would carry out more strikes on Iran if Tehran refuses to accept a deal proposed by US negotiators, following fresh American attacks on Iranian targets.
• Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said on Wednesday that the country has closed the Strait of Hormuz to all oil tankers and commercial ships. However, US Central Command later said the strait is open and commercial ships are continuing to transit in and out of the Strait.
• The US military launched fresh airstrikes on southern Iran on Wednesday. President Trump conveyed a message to Iran via Qatar saying the strikes were a response to the Apache helicopter incident and were not intended to signal a wider conflict.
