Trump's Revenge Mode Sparks Escalating Tensions with Iran

US President Donald Trump has reportedly lost patience with Iran and is increasingly convinced that force is the only language the regime understands. According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump is 'in revenge mode' and doubts that negotiations will lead to anything.

Tehran's Foreign Minister Araghchi stated that they do not fear threats or pressure, and will not accept a ceasefire until their demands regarding the Strait of Hormuz are met.

A Saudi ship was struck in the Red Sea, sustaining minor damage. Riyadh retaliated by attacking military sites belonging to the Yemeni Houthis, who struck back by targeting oil facilities and bases on Saudi territory.
