A self-imposed deadline set by President Donald Trump for Iran to reach a peace deal was looming as Trump escalated his threats to destroy the country’s infrastructure and talks appeared to stall.

Iran’s recent shootdown of an American F-15 is raising questions about claims of U.S. air dominance amid White House threats to escalate the war.

President Donald Trump threatened more attacks on Iranian infrastructure, hours after U.S. forces struck a highway bridge near Tehran.

President Donald Trump said the U.S. will soon wrap up its operations in the Middle East, suggesting European and other allies must take the lead in dealing with much of the aftermath.

U.S. forces are expected to conclude Operation Epic Fury in two to three weeks, said President Trump as he plans an address to the nation on the conflict.

Trump’s post said nations hurting from the oil shortage should “buy from the U.S.” or send their own forces to the strait. His comments came as Iran launched a drone strike on a Kuwaiti oil tanker off the coast of Dubai.

President Donald Trump is considering seizing Kharg Island, a major source of Iran’s revenue that could give the U.S. more leverage in opening the Strait of Hormuz.

The U.S. will blow up Iran’s power plants and oil infrastructure if it does not immediately open the Strait of Hormuz and agree to a peace deal, President Donald Trump said Monday.

While the U.S. might have started the war looking for regime change, the primary objective now seems to be reopening the Strait of Hormuz, one expert said.

President Donald Trump on Thursday said the war in Iran was “way ahead of schedule.” Meanwhile, some experts caution the number of Iranian missile and drone launches could be dropping due to a change in strategy.
