Israel-Iran: New efforts to de-escalate conflict, Trump disputes Gabbard

President Donald Trump and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard are reportedly in agreement regarding Iran. This comes despite Trump's earlier dismissal of Gabbard's Senate testimony, where she asserted Iran was not developing nuclear weapons, with the President stating he did not "care" for her opinion at the time. LiveNOW’s Andrew Craft is speaking with Ben Radd, a lecturer of global studies, international and area studies, and political science in the UCLA College.

Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke to both Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, offering to help de-escalate the conflict.

President Donald Trump has reiterated a clear red line, that Iran must never obtain nuclear weapons. Behind the scenes, U.S. envoys are working through Oman and Europe to open diplomatic channels.

Trump urged, in a social media posting, Iran’s “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” as the five-day conflict continues to escalate.

“We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding,” Trump added. “He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin.”
