💨 Abstract

Donald Trump rejected Iran's latest peace offer, stating that Iran hasn't paid enough for its past actions. He hinted at potential military action but prefers not to escalate. The peace talks are faltering as both sides disagree on basic proposals. A fragile ceasefire holds, but tensions remain high. The U.S. withdrew troops from Germany amid growing transatlantic tensions. The Strait of Hormuz's closure has prompted global contingency planning.
