Iran communicated a ‘final proposal’ to the U.S. via Pakistani mediators last night

President Trump said he is not satisfied with Iran’s newest and final offer. He added that he was briefed by CENTCOM Commander Gen. Bradley Cooper, during which one option presented was to “blast the hell out of Iran” and “finish them forever.”

When a reporter asked whether he was worried about the U.S. weapons inventory being depleted, Trump replied, “No, we have more than we’ve ever had, actually. Right now we have more than double of what we had before we started this thing.”

He also stated that everyone in Iran wants to make a deal, including the hardliners, noting that Iran has no navy, no air force, no anti-aircraft systems, and nothing at all.

Trump confirmed he’s been briefed by CENTCOM on options to “finish them forever” if talks fail. He’s explicitly weighing a massive bombing campaign vs. a long-term blockade.

Today was the legal deadline for the War Powers Act. The administration is claiming the current “ceasefire” reset the clock, allowing them to skip Congressional approval for renewed strikes.

Iran’s offer focused on reopening the Strait only after the US lifts its naval blockade. Trump’s “Against the Narrative” stance: the blockade stays until the nuclear program is dismantled.
