Trump extends Iran ultimatum as Israel prepares to escalate strikes

President Trump has extended an ultimatum to Iran while denying that Israel forced the United States to launch strikes. He stated the U.S. has 'already won in many ways' in the conflict but hasn't 'won enough.' Meanwhile, reports indicate Israel is preparing to shift the pace and targets of its strikes against Iran following Trump's remarks.

Israeli officials have signaled that their military operations will ramp up. Some reports suggest Israel is losing sway over Trump's course of action in the war, with the head of the Israeli military raising concerns. The two allies continue to trade blows with Iran amid mixed messages from the U.S. administration.

The situation remains fluid with ongoing attacks and diplomatic statements. The extension of the U.S. ultimatum and Israel's stated plans for escalation point to a continuing and potentially intensifying military confrontation.
