As U.S.-Israeli war with Iran intensifies,

• President Trump told CBS News he believes the war is “very complete, pretty much” and that he doesn’t have a message for Iran’s new supreme leader. He also said he’s considering taking over the Strait of Hormuz, a key chokepoint for the global oil trade that has been disrupted by the war.
• Speaking later Monday to reporters from his Miami-area golf club, Mr. Trump said he expects the war to end “very soon,” and warned that Iran would get hit “much, much harder” if it blocks the oil supply.
• Benchmark oil prices briefly surged past $100 a barrel for the first time since 2022 on fears that the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran will drag on. Barrels of Brent and U.S. crude are still more expensive than before the war started on Feb. 28.
• As the U.S. military announced a seventh fatality from the war, the death toll from Israel’s blistering assault in Lebanon neared 400, according to the country’s health ministry.
• Thousands of Iranians poured into the streets to celebrate the selection of Mojtaba Khamenei as the country’s new Supreme Leader, following the killing of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. One analyst told CBS News the younger Khamenei has now stepped into the “highest risk job.”

• Iran’s foreign minister says no chance of talks with U.S. as things stand now

  Iran’s foreign minister said Tuesday his country was prepared to continue attacks for as long as necessary and ruled out talks after President Trump said the war with Iran would be over “very soon.”

  Abbas Araghchi told PBS his country was prepared to continue missile attacks and talks with the U.S. were no longer on the agenda.
