Iranian military mocks Trump’s claims of ceasefire talks, strikes Gulf states overnight

Source: The Guardian [UK]

“An Iranian military spokesperson mocked US attempts at a ceasefire deal, insisting Americans were only negotiating with themselves. Lt Col Ebrahim Zolfaghari’s statement came after the Trump administration reportedly sent a 15-point ceasefire plan to Iran through Pakistan. … Kuwait and Bahrain were both hit with damaging strikes on Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning …. News that Trump had approved the deployment of more than 1,000 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East further undermined the US president’s repeated claims of successful peace talks.” (03/25/26)
