On the 34th day of the Iran-Israel war, US President Donald Trump declared that American military objectives are nearing completion, suggesting a potential end to hostilities. In a televised address, he stated that the US would continue to strike Iran 'extremely hard' over the next two to three weeks, despite not providing a clear timeline for a ceasefire. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baqaei, dismissed Trump's claims, labeling US demands as 'maximalist and irrational' and asserting that no direct negotiations were taking place. The military situation remains tense, with Israel reporting missile attacks and civilian casualties, including 14 injuries near Tel Aviv. The Strait of Hormuz is a key point of contention, with Iran's Revolutionary Guards stating it will remain closed to US interests. The ongoing conflict is also causing global economic concerns, with the World Bank warning about its potential impact on inflation and food security, as oil prices remain volatile amid uncertainty over the Hormuz blockade.
