War update: Israel hits IRGC HQ in Tehran as Trump claims deepen tensions and doubts rise

The Middle East conflict has entered its 28th day with a dramatic escalation after Israel launched a major strike in Tehran, targeting the aerospace headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Visuals emerging from Tehran show thick plumes of smoke rising from the site, indicating the intensity of the attack. The strike marks a significant escalation, as Israel directly targeted a key military command structure linked to Iran’s missile and drone operations. Amid the rising tensions, former U.S. President Donald Trump has made fresh claims, stating that the U.S. has postponed attacks on Iranian power plants for 10 days until April 6. He asserted that the delay came after a request from Iran and ongoing talks between the two sides. However, Iranian officials have strongly denied any such communication, calling Trump’s statements false and rejecting the idea of any negotiations or requests. Trump’s repeated deadlines—from 48 hours to 5 days and now 10 days—have raised questions about U.S. strategy and credibility. Analysts suggest that the prolonged conflict has begun to expose diplomatic, political, and strategic challenges for Washington, including declining global support and hesitation from allies like NATO. Additionally, Trump’s claim that Iran allowed oil tankers allegedly under Pakistan flags to pass through the Strait of Hormuz has sparked fresh controversy, raising concerns of trust, covert deals, and shifting alliances in the ongoing war.
