Trump extends deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump made the announcement on his Truth Social website Monday, just hours ahead of a deadline later in the day. Writing in all capital letters, he said the U.S. and Iran have had "very good and productive conversations" that could yield "a complete and total resolution" in the war. Talks will continue "throughout the week," Trump said.


Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), a longtime hawk on Iran, told Fox News's Shannon Bream Sunday that the U.S. should seize control of Kharg Island, which has been described as "the point of departure for approximately 90 percent of Iran's oil exports." Earlier this month, President Donald Trump bragged about obliterating "every military target in Iran's crown jewel, Kharg Island." "I trust the Marines, not that guy," Graham said of The Atlantic writer. "I trust DOD. We've got two marine expeditionary area units sailing to this island. We did Iwo Jima, we can do this. The Marines, my money's always on the Marines."


The Department of State advises Americans worldwide, and especially in the Middle East, to exercise increased caution. Americans abroad should follow the guidance in security alerts issued by the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. Periodic airspace closures may cause travel disruptions. U.S. diplomatic facilities, including outside the Middle East, have been targeted. Groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or locations associated with the United States and/or Americans throughout the world.
