President Donald Trump says Iran faces massive damage to its energy system unless it quickly agrees to end the war. Trump said Monday talks showed “great progress" but he threatened to hit power plants, oil wells and Kharg Island. Iran has warned it could mine the Persian Gulf if it is invaded. The U.S. and Israel kept up strikes on Monday. Iran hit a key water and power plant in Kuwait and an oil refinery in Israel. Israel has invaded southern Lebanon to expel the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah, in what Israeli leaders suggest could be another extended occupation of that country.
U.S. President Donald Trump says the responsibility for keeping the Strait of Hormuz open should belong with countries that rely on it, rather than the U.S. Trump expressed frustration earlier Tuesday with allies who have been unwilling to do more to support the U.S. war effort, telling them to “go get your own oil.” Meanwhile, U.S. gas prices jumped past an average of $4 a gallon for the first time since 2022 as fuel prices continue to soar worldwide. Israel and the U.S. have launched a new wave of strikes on Iran, hitting Tehran early Tuesday. The conflict has killed more than 3,000 people in the region and displaced millions in Lebanon and Iran.
