The White House later said Trump would deliver a national address with a “major update on Iran.”The remarks came as the United States continued to reinforce its military presence in the region. On the battlefield, Iran and Israel continued to exchange missile fire as U.S.-Israeli strikes targeted Tehran and other Iranian cities. The Israeli military said it had carried out more than 800 attack sorties against Iran since the start of the war, deploying over 16,000 munitions. In separate remarks to the Daily Telegraph, Trump said he was seriously considering withdrawing the United States from NATO, citing what he described as allies’ failure to support U.S. military action against Iran. He called the alliance a “paper tiger,” comments likely to deepen concerns over the broader geopolitical fallout from the war.
