US President Donald Trump said Iran remains unprepared to make what he called the “right deal” with Washington as tightening economic measures target Tehran. Speaking before boarding Air Force One for a rally in South Carolina, Trump said Iran would like an agreement but was not ready for the terms he considered appropriate. He rejected the suggestion that escalating economic pressure limited US military options and said Washington would see how the measures affect Iran’s already-strained economy after nearly six months of war with the US. Türkiye’s Communications Directorate strongly condemned remarks by the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office targeting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, calling them devoid of historical facts and political seriousness and accusing the Israeli administration of seeking to evade accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Türkiye, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates also unanimously condemned Israel’s continued settlement policies in the occupied Palestinian territories, rejected the E1 settlement plan east of occupied East Jerusalem, and denounced settler violence against Palestinians and their property. Other developments included Trump’s disclosure that his political operation has about $850 million available for Republican candidates in the 2026 midterm elections; a $400 million TikTok and ByteDance settlement with the US Justice Department over alleged violations of a children’s online privacy law; and a US Supreme Court decision temporarily allowing construction of a White House ballroom to continue.
