In the latest developments surrounding the Middle East conflict, U.S. President Donald Trump defended the U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran, stating the war began due to Iran initiating work on a new granite-protected nuclear weapons site.
France publicly rejected President Trump's call for military assistance to break Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, maintaining a defensive stance in the Eastern Mediterranean and dismissing the request as 'scaremongering.'
