Maria: Is this war over?
Trump: I mean, I view it as very close to over. You know what? If I pulled up stakes right now, it would take them 20 years to rebuild that country. And we're not finished. We'll see what happens. I think they want to make a deal very badly.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has sent letters to the governments of the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, China, and Oman identifying banks within their jurisdictions that it says have enabled, facilitated, or benefited from illicit Iranian activity. The Treasury urged those governments to take swift action against the institutions involved and halt the alleged activities. The letter, shared by Al-Monitor diplomatic correspondent Elizabeth Hagedorn, is the latest in a series of Treasury actions related to Iran.

China has condemned the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, with Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun calling it “a dangerous and irresponsible move” that “will only aggravate confrontation” and further threaten navigation through the waterway. He emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz is a vital international trade route and said the conflict must end as soon as possible.
President Xi Jinping also weighed in, stating that “the world faces a contest between justice and power” and warning against a return to the “law of the jungle.”

Commenting on Pope Leo, President Donald Trump said he is “not a fan” of the pontiff, accusing him of being overly liberal and criticizing what he described as the Pope’s positions on crime and nuclear policy. Trump argued that Pope Leo does not take a sufficiently hard stance on public safety and objected to remarks he interpreted as permissive toward countries seeking nuclear weapons. He also referenced the treatment of clergy during the COVID-19 pandemic as part of his criticism.

Following criticism from Pope Leo XIV and three U.S. cardinals regarding U.S.-Israeli operations against Iran and Lebanese Hezbollah, President Donald J. Trump responded by attacking the Pope, calling him “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy.” He also criticized the Catholic Church’s handling of priests and ministers during the COVID-19 pandemic, while praising the Pope’s brother, Louis, for supporting the administration.

In a lengthy post on Truth Social earlier, President Donald J. Trump sharply criticized several former allies, including conservative commentators Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones. The group has recently voiced criticism of Trump over issues such as the Iran war and the Epstein files, arguing these actions conflict with his “MAGA” and “America First” agenda.
In the post, Trump referred to the commentators as “low IQ,” “stupid people,” and “nut jobs” and “troublemakers.” He also dismissed their platforms as “third-rate podcasts,” claiming they no longer reflect the views of the MAGA movement and asserting that his electoral success demonstrates continued support for his positions.

Donald J. Trump:
“They have two choices: buy American oil, or build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and take it. They need to secure it and protect what they depend on. We’ll help—but they should take the lead. Iran has essentially been decimated.”
The remarks reflect Trump’s broader stance that countries reliant on oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz should take primary responsibility for securing it, while the U.S. plays a supporting role.

According to recent remarks by the French naval chief, there is currently no confirmed evidence that the Strait of Hormuz has been mined, casting doubt on earlier reports—particularly from CNN—which suggested Iran had begun laying naval mines in the waterway.
His comments align with broader uncertainty among Western officials, as investigations into possible mines are still ongoing and no definitive proof has been established.
This comes as European nations, led in part by France, are exploring the formation of a new “coalition of the willing” aimed at addressing the conflict and eventually reopening the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

Marco Rubio:
Iran has been doing this for 47 years. We know what this regime is all about. I always say Iran—let me be clear, I'm not talking about the people of Iran. The people of Iran don't even like this government or this regime. This is a regime that is led by radical Shia clerics, by people who believe that it is their calling. I know this sounds fantastical, but it's absolutely true.
This is a regime led by people who believe that it is their calling and their purpose in life to usher in the end of the world. These people want nuclear weapons. Why do we know that? Because they are assembling all the things you need for nuclear weapons. They're assembling long-range rockets that can eventually reach the United States, can already range Europe. We saw them demonstrate two of them last week, despite denying that they had them.
They enriched uranium to 60%. As you pointed out a moment ago, from 60% to 90%, which is what you need for a bomb, takes 12 to 14 days. They bragged about still having that. They demand the right to enrich, which is how you get from 60% to 90%. They're the leading sponsor of terrorism, not in the region, in the world.

The Pentagon is adamantly denying today’s story from the Financial Times, which alleged that a broker affiliated with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth attempted to make a multimillion-dollar investment in several defense manufacturers in the lead up to the Iran War, with Spokesman Sean Parnell stating that the story is “false and fabricated,” while demanding an immediate retraction from FT. Parnell closed by saying: “Secretary Hegseth and the Department of War remain unwavering in their commitment to the highest standards of ethics and strict adherence to all applicable laws and regulations.”

According to Israel’s Channel 12 News, the early-war leaks to the media on the Kurdish offensive that never transpired was the impetus for U.S. President Donald J. Trump to forego the plan, which likely saved many Kurdish lives, as most assessments had any Kurdish offensive being highly costly.

Israel, for the first time, is planning to propose to the Trump Administration the development of U.S. military bases on its soil, including the construction of new bases and the relocation of existing military bases in countries across the Middle East, senior officials tell Israel’s Channel 12.

Any move to seize the uranium by force would be complex and dangerous, former U.S. military officers and experts said, ranking among the most challenging operations ordered by Trump. The potential operation, which would likely trigger retaliation from Iran, could also lengthen the war well beyond the 4-6 week time frame that Trump’s team has publicly outlined.
Teams of U.S. forces would need to fly to the sites, likely under fire from Iranian surface-to-air missiles and drones. Once on site, combat troops would need to secure perimeters so that engineers with excavating equipment could search through debris and check for mines and booby traps.
The extraction of the material would likely need to be conducted by an elite special operations team specially trained to remove radioactive material from a conflict zone. The highly enriched uranium is likely contained in 40 to 50 special cylinders that resemble scuba tanks. They would need to be put into transportation casks to protect against accidents. That could fill several trucks, said Richard Nephew, a senior research scholar at Columbia University and a former nuclear negotiator with Iran.
Unless an airfield was available, a makeshift one would need to be set up to bring equipment in and take the nuclear material out. The entire operation would take days or even a week to complete, experts said.
