Trump cracking under Iran's pressure: ‘Stop shooting!’ - Is the master deal-maker losing his nerve?

U.S. President Donald Trump claimed fresh ceasefire efforts were underway between Israel and Iran even as both sides continued exchanging missile and drone attacks. Trump said negotiations for an immediate truce were progressing despite what he described as “ignorant and stupid” actions on the battlefield. His remarks came amid reports of a major explosion in Tehran, Iranian missile strikes on Haifa, and new attacks by Iran-backed Houthi forces against Israel. Meanwhile, Tehran accused Washington of politicizing sports by restricting members of Iran’s World Cup delegation, adding another layer of tension to an already volatile confrontation.
