Iran's military has warned it would block trade through the Red Sea, including Israeli ships, if the U.S. naval blockade continues. This action is part of a broader response to perceived threats against Iran's commercial vessels and oil tankers.

Negotiations on the Iranian conflict are continuing through mediators, but progress is slow. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi announced in Tehran on Saturday that his country had presented its plan to Pakistani mediators. Meanwhile, the Iranian parliament is moving toward confrontation: it is drafting a law that would transfer the Strait of Hormuz to the full control of the armed forces. The ayatollah regime wants to completely ban Israeli ships from passing through.

According to Deputy Speaker Ali Nikzad, other international vessels would be required to pay a toll. It is considered highly unlikely that the US will agree to such terms: "At this point, I am not happy with their proposal," said US President Donald Trump, calling Tehran's leadership "divided."

Trump also told reporters that resuming the conflict "remains an option." He does not want to "raze Iran to the ground," but Washington will continue to apply pressure.

Trump has threatened to withdraw U.S. troops from Italy and Spain after criticizing these NATO allies for not supporting U.S. military operations related to the Iran war. This follows his announcement of plans to reduce troop numbers in Germany as well.

US President Donald Trump is considering withdrawing American troops from other NATO countries. After Germany, Spain and Italy could be at risk: both countries, according to Trump, provided insufficient support to the US in the war with Iran.

Germany is skeptical of the threat, as there is resistance in the US Congress. Furthermore, the law calls for the deployment of at least 76,000 American troops in Europe.

President Trump has indicated that the U.S. will withdraw "a lot further than 5,000" troops from Germany, following a recent announcement of a planned reduction of 5,000 troops amid tensions with the German Chancellor over the war with Iran.

This move goes beyond previously known plans and is drawing attention among NATO partners. Currently, approximately 39,000 American soldiers are stationed in Germany, out of a total of approximately 86,000 in Europe, but these numbers fluctuate regularly due to rotations and exercises. Despite potential reductions, Germany remains a central location for US forces. Facilities such as the US European Command in Stuttgart and Ramstein Air Base in Rhineland-Palatinate are important hubs for operations, for example, in the Middle East.

NATO spokesperson Allison Hart stated in X that the military alliance is working with the US "to better understand the details of their decision regarding troop contingents in Germany." At the same time, this "adjustment" suggests "that Europe must continue to invest more in defense and assume greater responsibility for our shared security." German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius expressed a similar opinion.

The troop withdrawal must be "completed within the next six to 12 months," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said earlier. Besides Germany, Trump also threatened Spain and Italy with the withdrawal of their troops:

"Italy hasn't helped us at all, and Spain has been terrible, absolutely terrible," he added, referring to the allies' support in the Iran conflict.
