Iran War — Role & Stance

Trump authorised the joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran on 28 February 2026, which killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and sparked the full-scale conflict now in its 88th day. His Iran policy is defined by aggressive posturing combined with on-off negotiation:

War aims: Preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons, ending the Strait of Hormuz blockade, curbing Iran's missile arsenal
April 7, 2026: Famously threatened "A whole civilisation will die tonight, never to be brought back again" if Iran did not yield — triggering bipartisan and international rebuke
The next day (8 April): Pakistan-mediated ceasefire agreed after military stalemate
Ceasefire never fully held; skirmishes continued
