#US President #DonaldTrump stated that he is not in a hurry to make a peace deal with Iran. However, he claimed that the key oil route, the #StraitofHormuz, would open immediately, though he did not provide further details.

Trump also remarked that the US lost "only" 13 Americans in its war with #Iran.

Meanwhile, Iran warned the #US that it would wage war on "new fronts" if attacked on May 19.

#US President #DonaldTrump and Israeli Prime Minister #BenjaminNetanyahu reportedly had a tense phone conversation over the future of the conflict with #Iran, amid indications that Washington favours a negotiated settlement over renewed military action.


According to Axios, Trump informed Netanyahu that mediators were working on a “letter of intent” that could formally end the conflict and initiate a 30-day negotiation period focused on Iran’s nuclear programme and maritime security, including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

A person who opened fire on a White House security checkpoint is dead after being shot by officers who returned fire, the US Secret Service said. It was the third incidence of gunfire in the vicinity of President #DonaldTrump in the past month.

The law enforcement agency said in a preliminary statement posted on X that the person in the area of 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue “pulled a weapon from his bag" shortly after 6 pm ET and began firing.

The officers returned fire, hitting the suspect, who was taken to a hospital where he later died, the Secret Service said.

India and the #UnitedStates sought to project continuity and momentum in their strategic partnership despite unease over trade talks and tightening American visa policies, with External Affairs Minister #SJaishankar raising concerns over difficulties faced by legitimate Indian travellers seeking entry into the US.

US President #DonaldTrump said he had secured guarantees from #Iran that it would not develop nuclear weapons, as reports emerged he had sent a tougher peace proposal back to Tehran.

Any tweaks to the proposal could prolong even further an agreement to formally end the Middle East war and open the Strait of Hormuz maritime route after weeks of efforts to secure a deal despite fractious rhetoric and the occasional flare up of armed conflict.

As the White House has soured on #Israel's war with #Hezbollah in #Lebanon, #US President #DonaldTrump has shocked many in the region by pushing an alternative: Let #Syria fight the Iran-backed militant group instead.

He has suggested that the battle-hardened and Islamist-led insurgents who overthrew Syria's autocratic President Bashar Assad a year and a half ago and formed a new government would do a better job of rooting out Hezbollah than the Israeli army.

A divided #SupremeCourt on Tuesday upheld a broad conception of birthright citizenship, rejecting President #DonaldTrump's executive order declaring that children born to people who are in the #US illegally or temporarily are not American citizens.

The justices relied on a long-settled understanding of the 14th Amendment, adopted after the Civil War, and more recent federal laws in ruling that anyone born in the country, with very limited exceptions, is a citizen.

US President #DonaldTrump said the #ceasefire with #Iran was "over" and added that he would allow talks to continue after fighting flared between the countries sparked by Iranian attacks on ships in the vital Strait of Hormuz.

The strategic shipping route remains a flashpoint in the conflict, which began in late February with massive US-Israeli strikes on Iran.

"I'll let our wonderful negotiators keep talking if they want, but I don't see it. I don't like these people," he said.
