Not to diminish 5 year olds, but he sounds like one.

"Meanwhile, Vance told CBS News that a deal would "absolutely" come before November's critical midterm elections.

"Look, I think that the deal could happen in the next week, but the deal could also happen months from now," Vance said.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters Wednesday afternoon that U.S. Central Command will be "busy" Wednesday evening "because President Trump said we will be hitting Iran hard and we will be."

"The reservoirs that were struck provide drinking water to more than 20,000 residents in the city of Kouhestak and 10 surrounding villages. WANA reported initial estimates for damages amounting to $780,000 to $830,000.

Iran was already facing a multiyear drought and decline in precipitation before the US-Israeli war on Iran started. After years of poor agricultural practices and mismanagement, Iran's main water supplies, including its reservoirs, rivers and groundwater reserves, continued to run dry.

According to Aqueduct data from the World Resources Institute, which tracks global water risk, Iran's baseline water stress is classified as "extremely high" " meaning the country uses more than 80 percent of its renewable water resources in a typical year."

"We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran," Trump told reporters at the White House.

"The Strait will officially open as soon as we sign, which could be soon, very soon, maybe over the weekend in Europe," he said.
Vice President JD Vance could sign for the United States, Trump said. ...
