Trump Weighs Total War vs. Diplomacy as Iran Threatens Hormuz Closure and Nuclear Shift
President Trump signaled he is 'deciding' whether to escalate the war against Iran, warning he could 'blow the entire nation up' while simultaneously expressing openness to talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian at the UN. Iran’s military threatened 'sustained, effective and painful attacks' on US bases if Washington resumes strikes, while lawmakers debated withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The conflict has driven diesel prices to record highs and cost the US military over $43 billion, with Houthis seizing key Red Sea shipping routes.
