The move comes as the conflict approaches its sixth month, with no clear diplomatic or military resolution and the Strait of Hormuz still heavily disrupted. Trump also faces growing domestic scrutiny ahead of November elections over rising costs for Americans and pressure on the US military. He described the campaign as unprecedented economic warfare and isolation.

Iran captures unmanned US submarine as sea warfare intensifies The IRGC says its naval forces “trapped one of the most modern, intelligent, unmanned submarines of the terrorist US army at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz”. Iranian state media identified the vessel as a Dive-LD – an autonomous underwater vehicle built by California-based defence firm Anduril Industries. The submersible, about six metres (20 feet) long, is designed for long-duration missions such as surveillance, seabed mapping, and mine detection.
