After Putin phone call, nervous Trump struggles to speak? Then Russia makes big Iran announcement

In a tense new twist to the Iran crisis, Donald Trump appeared visibly nervous and struggled to find his words after a high-stakes phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The 90-minute conversation came as the U.S.–Iran standoff threatened to spiral, with fragile ceasefires and nuclear tensions hanging in the balance. Kremlin officials later revealed that Putin backed an extended ceasefire with Tehran, but also warned Trump of “dire consequences” if Washington or Israel launched fresh strikes on Iran.
