Confirmed

Trump's comments came amid ongoing negotiations between the US and Iran, with Qatari mediators returning to Tehran with revised proposals to end the eight-month conflict.
The president also warned that Iran was 'failing very badly' and that the war would be 'over with very, very soon,' highlighting the military operations against Iran as going 'very well.'
Trump told supporters that the war was 'just artificial' and that the current high oil prices were a 'small price to pay' for keeping the world and the US safe.
He suggested that Iran could 'take out a city' and mentioned Los Angeles and San Diego as potential targets, though he did not specify what he meant by this threat.
Despite these claims, there were indications of progress in the talks, according to sources.
