TL;DR

President Trump stated that the planned strike on Iran will be executed today and expressed frustration that talks were close to a deal but that Iran continued to 'sting' the U.S., according to Channel 14 reports.

01 · THE DISPATCH

President Donald Trump has indicated that the U.S. military strike against Iran will proceed today, while voicing frustration that diplomatic talks had been close to a deal before what he described as Iranian provocations. The remarks, reported by Israel's Channel 14, come amid a period of heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, following an Iranian missile barrage on Israel earlier this month and subsequent U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets. Trump's statement signals that the current round of escalation is far from over, even as his administration has simultaneously pursued diplomatic channels, including ongoing talks with Iranian representatives.
