Iran renews attacks in the Strait of Hormuz after Trump says he's extending a ceasefire indefinitely, as thousands more U.S. forces head for the region.

The last five weeks, perhaps more than any other period in President Donald Trump’s two terms, have revealed him for the bluffer that he is — and on one of the largest and most significant scales imaginable.

WASHINGTON, April 22 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Iran had agreed not to execute eight women protesters in a sign of respect for him, while officials in Tehran denied the executions had been planned and accused the U.

About half of Iran's stockpile of ballistic missiles and its associated launch systems were still intact as of the start of the ceasefire in early April, officials said.

“Seriously fractured” is how President Donald Trump has described the Iranian government. But many analysts say the leadership is more cohesive than it’s being portrayed.

Since the war, the Islamic Republic has been operating less as a hierarchy organized around a single dominant figure and more as a hardline coalition trying to manage war, diplomacy, and internal competition simultaneously.
