Trump’s Peace Plan Crumbles in Alarming Escalation

The U.S. and Iran exchanged fire on multiple fronts even as Donald Trump insisted that negotiations were still on track.

American and Iranian forces launched missiles, drones, and retaliatory strikes on Tuesday after the U.S. attacked an oil tanker bound for Iran.

In a statement, U.S. Central Command said it had disabled the unladen tanker attempting to reach Iran after the crew “ignored repeated warnings.” A U.S. aircraft ultimately fired a Hellfire missile into the vessel’s engine room, preventing it from reaching an Iranian port.
