Donald Trump says Iran “they break their word so often” about its promises

At a Camp David cabinet meeting, Donald Trump said his negotiators—Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and Marco Rubio—could still broker an agreement with Iran, but he voiced distrust of Iranian promises and threatened military action. Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, phoned Turkish, Pakistani, and Saudi officials, warning that Iran would respond firmly to any hostile US move. An Iranian outlet with ties to the country’s security establishment said US strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure would trigger Iranian attacks on Saudi and Emirati oil fields and Qatari and Israeli gas fields. Kuwait’s army said it shot down Iranian drones, with shrapnel damaging facilities but causing no casualties. Crude prices have stayed high since US and Israeli strikes began in late February, and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has largely stopped. Trump argues that keeping Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons justifies economic strain.
