This marked a significant departure from his March 31 tweet demanding the strait be reopened as a precondition for ending the war.

Trump told Reuters he no longer cared about Iran's uranium stockpile, reversing course on that core objective.

The shift came amid declining public support, with only 27% of Americans approving the strikes.

Military Objectives Reframed

Trump claimed the nuclear weapon goal had been attained, signaling a retreat from nuclear disarmament as a war goal.

Pentagon officials confirmed six US service members killed.

The Atlantic Council described the campaign as a high-risk gamble with unclear objectives.

Iranis Occupy the Void

Iran's Foreign Minister said there were no negotiations with the US.

Tehran maintained its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

China and Pakistan proposed a five-point peace plan.

The blockade forced countries including China, Germany, and South Korea to grapple with energy disruptions.

War Has Weakened Both Sides

The war slain toll was at least 1,300 dead and nearly 6,000 wounded across the involved countries.

Only six were US service members.
