  • Deadline Logic: This follows a pattern of shifting deadlines, with the latest ultimatum set to expire around April 6, 2026.
  • "Take the Oil": In a recent interview, Trump expressed a preference to seize Iran's oil assets rather than simply destroying them.
⚔️ Military & Regional Escalation

    Tehran
    .
  • Hezbollah & Lebanon: Israel reported destroying over 100 high-rise buildings in Beirut used as command centers, while Hezbollah claimed to have conducted over 1,100 operations since the war began.

     has closed its airspace to U.S. military planes involved in the conflict. Meanwhile, 
    Pakistan
     hosted talks on Sunday with Saudi Arabia, 
    Egypt
    , and Turkey to seek a de-escalatory path
    .
📑 Peace Talks: Fact vs. Fiction
