Trump said the Iran war will be over when the US wants to end it. Iran updated its target list to remove geographic limits on retaliation. A top Iranian official warned bases from West Asia to Europe would be hit if US strikes resume. Iran's chief negotiator said it is open to a deal if the US avoids excessive demands. Treasury Secretary Bessent moved to a military base over threats.

Why it matters

The standoff keeps shipping and oil supplies through the Gulf uncertain.
