Trump is delaying a decision on potential military strikes against Iran, Axios reports. While all options remain on the table, internal debate and Israeli concerns about retaliation have prompted caution.
Netanyahu reportedly urged Trump to give Israel time to prepare. Despite the pause, Trump ordered more US military assets -including the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and its strike group- to the region and emphasized he won't tolerate mass killings of protesters.

President #Zelenskyy:
💬 " #Ukraine has never been and will never be a stumbling block to peace. It is russian missiles, russian 'Shaheds,' and russia's attempts to destroy Ukraine that are clear evidence that it is not agreements at all that russia is seeking.
When Ukrainians are left without power for 20–30 hours because of russia, and when russian strikes are aimed at breaking our energy system and our people, it is russia that must be put under pressure."
