Trump Iran Strikes Raise Tensions as Tehran Says War Deal Remains Far Off

Iran says a deal to end the war with the US remains far off, rejecting what it calls Washington’s excessive demands. Tehran says the Strait of Hormuz will reopen only after its conditions are met, with nuclear talks coming later. Overnight, the US struck missile sites on Iran’s Qeshm Island, describing the attacks as defensive. Iran’s IRGC also claimed it shot down a US MQ-9 drone over Hormuz. Meanwhile, Qatari mediators arrived in Tehran with a draft proposal. Iran is also discussing a regional security arrangement with Saudi Arabia without foreign military involvement.
