President Trump said Tuesday that Iran is urgently seeking a truce while warning of heavy new attacks. US Defense Secretary Hegseth told reporters the Iranian war has cost American taxpayers $37.5 billion so far.
In southern Iran, mourners gathered for funerals of children killed in a strike on a school in Minab. Kuwait reported the start of rolling electricity rationing after Iranian strikes damaged its power grid. The US-Iran conflict was too intense for Pakistani peace moves and mediators have begun to publicly doubt whether a truce can be brokered. Trump promised aid to Lebanon but gave no timeline for the pullout of Israeli troops.
