Trump threatens to 'obliterate' Iran energy sites — claims 'great progress' with 'new, more reasonable' Iranian regime

President Trump posted on Truth Social threatening to 'obliterate' Iranian energy sites including Kharg Island if Tehran does not reach a peace deal 'shortly.' In the same post, he claimed talks are making 'great progress' with what he called a 'NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME' in Iran — a formulation that implies recognition of post-Khamenei leadership as a distinct and potentially more flexible entity. The dual messaging continues Trump's contradictory public posture: maximum military threat alongside optimistic diplomatic framing.

Trump tells aides he is willing to end Iran war without reopening Strait of Hormuz — WSJ

The Wall Street Journal reported that President Trump told aides he is willing to end the US military campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed, leaving reopening operations for a later date. Trump assessed that a Hormuz mission would push the conflict beyond his 4–6 week timeline. His stated objective is now to hobble Iran's navy and missile stocks, then wind down. The report directly contradicts Treasury Secretary Bessent's March 30 statement that the US would take control of Hormuz 'over time.'
