Trump Ramps Up Threats Against Iran Despite Pause in Strikes

NOTUS · back to the audit

While the United States paused strikes against Iran this weekend, President Donald Trump let loose on social media with artificial intelligence-created images depicting explosions in Iran or on ships labeled with that country's name. The U.S. halted airstrikes Friday after 13 consecutive days of attacks as news reports raised alarms about depleted stockpiles of American missiles and Trump suggested a possible diplomatic solution. "It's giving diplomacy some space," U.N. Ambassador Mike Waltz told CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday. "It's giving diplomacy a little bit of time." Stockpiles of Tomahawk, THAAD and Patriot missiles, all of which have been used in the war with Iran, could take three to five years to replace, according to a report published in May by the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
