JERUSALEM, Israel – After two weeks of attacks, the war with Iran paused over the weekend as President Trump made room for more negotiations. In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is taking aim at New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani over rhetoric the prime minister claims is antisemitism.
After posting threatening AI cartoon images aimed at Iran on Truth Social over the weekend, Trump is making clear that America’s military posture in the Middle East hasn’t changed, even as he allows more time for negotiations.
America’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, observed on Fox News, “As the president said, we are locked and loaded. Even more assets are going into theater. But he’s giving talks some space. He’s giving it a little bit of room.”
