U.S. Fires on Iranian Tankers as Tehran Accuses Washington of ‘Reckless’ Attacks
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Iran’s foreign minister accused Washington of undermining diplomacy. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. expected to hear from Tehran on Friday.
The United States said it had fired on two Iranian-flagged oil tankers on Friday, as Iran’s foreign minister on Friday accused the United States of “a reckless military adventure” and of undermining diplomatic efforts to end the war.
U.S. Central Command said it had disabled the two tankers as they tried to reach an Iranian port. The latest strikes came a day after the U.S. military and Iran exchanged fire in the Strait of Hormuz — fighting that the Iranian military said was triggered by an earlier U.S. attack on another Iranian tanker.
They also came as Iranian officials have said Washington and Tehran are debating a one-page U.S. proposal for the sides to reopen the strait and cease hostilities for 30 days as they negotiate a comprehensive deal to end the war.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, asked about the state of negotiations, said that the United States expected a “response” from Iran on Friday. And despite the exchanges of fire in recent days, both President Trump and Iran’s foreign ministry have insisted that their monthlong cease-fire was holding.
U.S. Central Command said on Thursday that “unprovoked Iranian attacks” on three American destroyers had involved missiles, drones and small boats. In response, the U.S. military said it had “targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces,” including missile and drone launch sites.
The Iranian military said the United States had violated the cease-fire a day earlier by firing on an Iranian oil tanker trying to cross an American blockade. It said it had “retaliated by attacking U.S. military vessels.”
Mr. Trump, speaking to reporters in Washington on Thursday evening, dismissed the Iranian attacks as a “trifle” and again warned that Iran “better sign their agreement fast,” an apparent reference to the one-page U.S. proposal. A key hurdle was the U.S. demand for advance commitments on the fate of Iran’s nuclear program and its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, three senior Iranian officials said.
On Friday, the Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, questioned in a social media post whether the U.S. strikes were a “crude pressure tactic.” He added: “Every time a diplomatic solution is on the table, the U.S. opts for a reckless military adventure.” Iran War Live Updates » | Euan Ward, Leily Nikounazar, Farnaz Fassihi, Erica L.

Iran Will Not ‘Cry Uncle’ to Donald Trump | Trita Parsi
May 6, 2026 | “Iran will not give him the perception of having humiliated Iran.”
Donald Trump’s public threats against Iran risk sabotaging the diplomacy his administration is simultaneously trying to advance behind closed doors, says executive vice president of the Quincy Institute, Trita Parsi.
If I am not greatly mistaken, the USA has lost this war. The Iranians have outmanoeuvred the Americans. President Trump: Eat your heart out! — © Mark Alexander

US Fires on Iranian-flagged Oil Tanker as Trump Gives Tehran Fresh Ultimatum
THE GUARDIAN: President tells Iran to accept deal to end war or face new wave of bombing at ‘much higher level and intensity’
The US military fired on an Iranian-flagged oil tanker on Wednesday, shortly after Donald Trump issued a fresh ultimatum to Tehran, telling it to accept a deal to end the war or face a new wave of US bombing “at a much higher level and intensity than it was before”.
The US fighter fired several rounds and “disabled the tanker’s rudder” as it attempted to breach the US’s blockade of Iranian ports, US Central Command said in a social media post.
The attack came after the US president’s social media announcement – the latest in a rapid series of dramatic and often contradictory changes in policy amid unconfirmed reports of progress in stalled negotiations between Tehran and Washington.
“Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is perhaps a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an end,” the US president posted on his Truth Social platform, referring to the military operation he launched with Israel against Iran in February.
“If they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before.” » | Jason Burke, Shah Meer Baloch in Islamabad and Hannah Ellis-Petersen in Delhi | Wednesday, May 6, 2026

Tehran Says It Is Reviewing U.S. Proposal as Trump Makes New Threats
THE NEW YORK TIMES: An Iranian official said his government was looking at an American plan to end the war, hours after President Trump threatened to resume strikes. Earlier Wednesday, another Iranian official dismissed a reported proposal as a “list of American wishes.”
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, said Wednesday that his government was reviewing an American plan to end the war, hours after President Trump put pressure on Iran to agree to a deal to end the war and renewed threats, fueling uncertainty around the negotiations.
Mr. Baghaei said that Iran had yet to respond to that proposal. “After finalizing its considerations, Iran will convey its views to the Pakistani side,” he said in an interview with the semiofficial news agency ISNA. Earlier in the day, another Iranian official had dismissed a reported proposal to end the war as a “list of American wishes.”
The mixed messages came a day after Mr. Trump abruptly paused a U.S. military operation to escort commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz, citing what he said was “great progress” in talks. In public, there has been little sign that the weeks of diplomacy aimed at reaching a deal to reopen the vital waterway and end the war were bearing fruit.
In a Truth Social post on Wednesday, Mr. Trump said he would end the war and offer safe passage for vessels through the strait if Iran “agrees to give what has been agreed,” without elaborating. “If they don’t agree, the bombing starts,” he threatened, warning that further U.S. attacks would be “at a much higher level and intensity.”
The suggestion appeared to contradict the assertion made by Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday that the war was “over.” Iran War Live Updates » | Leo Sands, Qasim Nauman and Erica L. Green | Wednesday, May 6, 2026

Steve Schmidt: MAGA Will Be Wiped Out
Trump Accuses Pope of ‘Endangering a Lot of Catholics’ with Iran Stance
THE GUARDIAN: US president directs fresh criticism at pontiff days before secretary of state Marco Rubio’s visit to Vatican
Donald Trump has issued a fresh verbal attack against Pope Leo XIV, accusing the pontiff of “endangering a lot of Catholics” because “he thinks it’s fine for Iran to have a nuclear weapon”.
The remarks come two days before Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, meets Leo at the Vatican in an effort to ease the tensions sparked by Trump’s previous broadside against the Chicago-born pontiff over his condemnation of the US-Israeli war on Iran.
Speaking to Hugh Hewitt, a prominent conservative radio talkshow host on the US-based Salem News network, Trump said the pope “would rather talk about the fact that it’s OK for Iran to have a nuclear weapon, and I don’t think that’s very good”.
“I think he’s endangering a lot of Catholics and a lot of people,” the US president added. “But I guess if it’s up to the pope, he thinks it’s just fine for Iran to have a nuclear weapon.”
Somebody should inform Trump that it is just not done to attack the pope. To do so is in very bad taste. Furthermore, it is also wrong to try and drag the pope into politics. Popes are men of the cloth, theologians, who deserve respect and who are far above dirty politics. Trump should learn that this pope should be held in very high esteem, for Pope Leo is a man of great dignity. Trump should cease and desist.
But when it comes to endangering the lives of Catholics, Trump is without equal. Trump himself is endangering Catholics’ lives in Cuba every single day with his harsh sanctions on the country and having Cuba on his list of nations to punish after he has finished punishing Iran. Such hypocrisy! — © Mark Alexander

When Your Father Is Dangerous
May 5, 2026 | What happens when the head of the household has textbook Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)?
What about when it's the head of state?
NPD isn't just a clinical term. It's a pattern. Rage. Manipulation. Gaslighting. Zero accountability.
Millions of us grew up with it. Are living under it right now.
This is a guide. For anyone who knows — in their gut — something is deeply wrong. With their family. With their country. Because the tactics are identical.
Donald Trump is waging a campaign of destruction. His flying monkeys call it the Iran war. His own niece calls him dangerous. So do his former generals.
How could Americans have been so reckless, so careless and, quite frankly, so stupid, to have re-elected that incompetent man into the White House? It was bad enough that he was elected into office the first time. But to re-elect him into office for a second term is unforgiveable. The result: Americans are paying a high price for their poor judgment. Unfortunately, however, the rest of the world must pay that high price, too. — © Mark Alexander

« Ils n’ont pas encore payé un prix assez lourd » : alors que Donald Trump tente de rouvrir de force le détroit d’Ormuz, le Golfe connaît un regain de tension
LE FIGARO : DÉCRYPTAGE - Alors que l’US Navy a coulé six vedettes iraniennes dans une opération destinée à « guider » les navires de commerce bloqués dans le golfe Persique, Téhéran a riposté en attaquant des cibles aux Émirats arabes unis.
Trump tente de rouvrir le détroit d’Ormuz à la navigation, sans lever son propre blocus des ports iraniens. Une nouvelle opération baptisée « Projet Liberté », visant à permettre le passage des navires commerciaux en défiance au blocage imposé par l’Iran a fait remonter les tensions dans le Golfe.
Lundi, l’US Navy a annoncé avoir aidé deux navires battant pavillon américain à franchir le détroit malgré les tentatives de l’Iran pour les en empêcher. L’amiral Brad Cooper, commandant du CentCom, en charge des opérations, a indiqué que les États-Unis avaient repoussé avec succès des attaques de l’Iran menées à la fois par des drones et des missiles. Il a ajouté que six vedettes rapides iraniennes qui tentaient d’attaquer des navires commerciaux avaient été coulées par des hélicoptères américains.
« Les forces américaines disposent d’un avantage certain », a déclaré Cooper. Il a ajouté que les navires iraniens avaient été « vivement invités à rester à l’écart », et que les États-Unis restaient pleinement déterminés à maintenir leur blocus contre les navires iraniens. Interrogé sur la question de savoir si ces affrontements signifiaient la fin du cessez-le-feu de près d’un mois entre les États-Unis et l’Iran, Cooper a répondu que les forces américaines présentes dans la région restaient une force défensive. » | Par Adrien Jaulmes, correspondant à Washington | lundi 4 mai 2026

Republicans ‘Concerned’ after Trump Threatens to Withdraw More US Troops from Germany
THE GUARDIAN: US announced withdrawal of 5,000 soldiers last week after German chancellor said US was being ‘humiliated’ by Iran
Donald Trump has threatened to withdraw more US troops from Germany after stunning European leaders and some senior members of his own party by last week announcing the withdrawal of 5,000 soldiers from Germany.
The move left 30,000 US troops still in the country, according to CNN. But Trump threatened on Saturday that more cuts were coming. “We are going to cut way down, and we’re cutting a lot further than 5,000,” he told reporters on Saturday.
Trump’s initial move to reduce US personnel in Germany came after German chancellor Friedrich Merz said the US was being “humiliated” by Iran.
The Pentagon then announced on Friday it was withdrawing 5,000 troops from Germany. The decision came after a “thorough review of the Department’s force posture in Europe and is in recognition of theater requirements and conditions on the ground”, a spokesman said. » | Sam Levine | Sunday, May 3, 2026
