Trump’s Demands for Ending Iran War Shift as US Military Works Through Its Target List
Coordinated strikes by the U.S. and Israel on Iranian targets have killed over 1,230 people in Iran, with significant retaliation across Gulf states and regional instability.
- This past week U.S. and Israeli strikes have entered a sixth day, with Iran retaliating across the Gulf and the IRGC claiming an attack on a U.S. oil tanker today.
- U.S. officials framed the operation as preemptive to prevent higher casualties, but critics say the rationale shifted and Israeli pressure shaped the decision.
- Iranian agencies report the strikes have killed more than 1,230 people and the Iranian Red Crescent Society says at least 174 cities have been struck since Saturday.
- The Pentagon revealed the final two names of the six U.S. soldiers killed, while the U.S. House scheduled a vote and the Republican-led Senate rejected a resolution.
- Claims and counterclaims extend to Gulf states and maritime routes, with NATO shot down a missile into Turkish airspace, and Iran's IRGC claims damage to 20 U.S. targets in Kuwait, Bahrain, and the UAE.

Despite some pressing by the chancellor, the answer from the president — as it has been since the conflict began a week ago — wasn’…
