April 2, 2026 • Al Jazeera
US President Donald Trump has stated that Washington is nearing its objectives in the ongoing conflict. In a recent address to the nation, Trump claimed that the US military had “destroyed the Iranian military” and was close to achieving its war goals.
Hours earlier, Trump announced that Iran had requested a ceasefire, but this claim was denied by Iranian officials. Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has stated that his country does not harbor hostility towards the people of the United States, Europe, or neighboring countries.
In response to the US claims, Iran has launched a new wave of missile attacks against Israel. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions between the two nations and their respective allies.
According to reports, the conflict has entered its 34th day, with no clear resolution in sight. The situation remains fluid, with both sides continuing to exchange statements and actions.
Details of the ceasefire request are not yet confirmed, but Iranian officials have denied making such a request. Trump’s comments on the military’s effectiveness and the war objectives remain unverified at this time.
The conflict has sparked concerns among regional leaders and international observers, who are closely monitoring the situation.
