US special envoy Steve Witkoff departed for another round of negotiations amid continuing tensions over Iran. President Donald Trump asserted that the United States had “wiped out everything” in Iran and claimed Tehran no longer possessed meaningful leverage. Trump also maintained that American military actions had severely weakened Iran and insisted the US held a dominant position in the conflict. The latest diplomatic push comes as Washington seeks progress on a broader agreement despite delays and uncertainty surrounding previous peace efforts. Regional tensions remain high, with developments involving Israel and the Strait of Hormuz continuing to influence negotiations and global energy concerns. (PC: AP)
