President Donald J. Trump has posted an update on the negotiations with Iran to Truth Social stating that negotiations are "proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner."

Amidst increasingly contradictory reports on the deal between the U.S. and Iran, U.S. President Donald J. Trump posted yet again about the deal on his Truth Social app, lambasting critics of the reported deal framework and decrying past deals made with Iran. Per President Trump, “it [the deal with Iran] isn’t even fully negotiated yet.”

According to @BarakRavid for Axios, citing people with knowledge on the matter, during a call today with Arab leaders, U.S. President Donald J. Trump told them that if a U.S.-Iran deal is realized, he would like them to become party to a wider peace framework with Israel. In the past, President Trump has championed the furtherance of the Saudi-Israeli Abraham Accords and an expansion of a potential Arab-Israeli rapprochement framework was not received well by the other nations on the call. Per the report, the president’s request was received by silence on the phone line.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday told his representatives not to rush into any deal with Iran, as his administration played down hopes of an imminent breakthrough in the three-month-old war that had been raised just yesterday during public statements and calls with allies in the Middle East, according to Reuters.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump posted a lengthy statement on his Truth Social app earlier on the ongoing negotiations. This most recent statement was centered around President Trump’s proposition to Arab leaders on the Abraham Accords. Per the president’s statement, negotiations with Iran are still ongoing and “proceeding nicely.” Trump stated that it should be mandatory that any nation who signs on to a peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran should sign on to a wider rapprochement framework between Muslim countries and Israel. The president honed in on Saudi Arabia and Qatar, saying that they should immediately sign such a framework and if they do, others will likely follow suit. However, per reporting from @BarakRavid yesterday, the president’s proposition wasn’t met with enthusiasm by Muslim leaders during a group call yesterday.

According to Iran’s state-affiliated Fars News Agency, an Arash Archer system shot down what was reportedly a stealth drone of a yet unspecified nation over the Arabian Gulf. Per the report, the system is able to detect stealth aircraft which allows for them to be engaged. At the time of writing, no statement has been made from the U.S. or other nations on the matter.

According to @BarakRavid, citing a senior U.S. official, the U.S. was mulling backing the now ongoing increase in the tempo of Israeli retaliatory strikes against Lebanese Hezbollah (LH) targets. According to Ravid’s report, LH has ignored warnings to stop targeting Israel and continued to launch strikes, including over 1,000 drones and 700 rocket launches since April 17. Additionally according to the report, citing the same U.S. official, LH sees the ongoing negotiations framework between Israel and the Lebanese government “as an existential threat,” and is currently doing all they can to throw a wrench in the gears of that process.

This comes as Israel has issued new evacuation orders and increased strikes against LH infrastructure and positions in the Bekaa Valley and other areas of Lebanon.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump posted on his Truth Social app that Iran’s enriched material will either be turned over to the U.S. or destroyed in a secondary location under the watch of the Atomic Energy Commission.

In a statement published earlier today, the Russian Foreign Ministry threatened to launch a fresh wave of “systematic strikes” against the Ukrainian capital, targeting “decision-making centres and command posts,” along with drone manufacturing facilities allegedly in Kyiv.

The United States has informed European allies it plans to significantly cut its military contributions to NATO, urging them to move quickly to close the gap, according to the German media outlet Der Spiegel.

Alexander Velez-Green, a senior advisor and envoy for U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, briefed allies on plans during a confidential meeting last week at the NATO Headquarters in Brussels, with European officials reported to have been taken aback by the scale of the planned drawdown by the Trump Administration.

As part of the drawdown, the U.S. Armed Forces plans to commit much fewer assets to NATO’s pool of readily available forces in the case of a conflict, significantly reducing the number of deployable drones, fighter jets, aerial refueling aircraft, strategic bomber, as well as warships, submarines and other naval assets, with a roughly one-third cut in just its fighter-aircraft contribution to forces in Europe.

The U.S. Navy has resumed operations in the Strait of Hormuz under “Project Freedom,” a previously announced and quickly suspended initiative to escort commercial vessels - including cargo ships and tankers - through the vital shipping corridor near Iran, U.S. military officials tell The Wall Street Journal.

According to officials, a Greek supertanker laden with two million barrels of crude oil, stuck in the Persian Gulf since early March, was recently guided by the U.S. Navy as it crossed the waterway off coast of Oman, with it now bound for India. Officials say that the Navy intends to assist roughly a dozen vessels over the next few days as they cross through the Hormuz Strait.
