 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 
 
 Recent Statements (May 2026) 
 
 25 May (Truth Social): Told representatives not to rush into any deal. Insisted the US blockade on Iranian ships "will remain in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed" 
 25 May (Truth Social): "No deal at all — Back to the Battlefront" — oscillating between deal optimism and escalation threats 
 25 May: Proposed it be "mandatory" for Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt to normalise with Israel as part of any Iran deal (Abraham Accords expansion) 
 
 
 Key Characteristics 
 
 Communication: Truth Social is his primary platform — policy shifts often announced via posts 
 Cabinet dynamics: Rubio holds unprecedented dual State/NSA role; hawks like Cruz and Graham oppose a negotiated end 
 Domestic: Mixed approval on war handling; Senate advancing a war-ending bill
