Trump Orders New Strikes on Iran Amid Escalating Tensions
US President Donald Trump has ordered new strikes on Iran, according to unnamed US officials cited by The Wall Street Journal. This move is intended to increase pressure on Tehran to make concessions.
The report comes after Trump expressed doubts about continuing negotiations with Iran and threatened the use of force in response to an attack on a US military base in Jordan.
Trump stated, 'We just want to win' in Iran, but human rights organizations warn that deliberate strikes on civilian targets could be considered war crimes.
The price of US WTI crude oil has exceeded $86 per barrel during after-hours trading due to the escalating tensions.
