West Asia war LIVE: U.S. strikes Iran for third night as Trump says deal still 'possible'
The U.S. military has conducted a third consecutive night of strikes against Iranian targets in West Asia, aiming to disrupt threats to regional shipping. Despite the escalation, Donald Trump stated that a deal with Iran remains possible as the administration seeks to impose costs on Tehran.
U.S. Central Command confirmed that American forces launched fresh strikes on Iranian assets for the third consecutive night. The operations are designed to degrade the capability of forces to target commercial shipping and civilians in the vital Strait of Hormuz waterway.
According to a statement from U.S. Central Command, these ongoing strikes will continue to impose a heavy cost on Iranian forces to deter further aggression. The military action comes amid heightened tensions across the region, where proxy groups have increased their activities against international interests.
In a parallel political development, former President Donald Trump commented on the situation, suggesting that a diplomatic resolution or deal is still within the realm of possibility. His remarks indicate a potential dual-track approach of military pressure combined with persistent openness to negotiation.
