Trump undergoes physical at Walter Reed -- here's what raised concerns
U.S. forces conducted additional airstrikes on military targets in southern Iran, which the Pentagon described as defensive, while maintaining that the ceasefire between the two countries remains in effect. Iran responded by claiming to have shot down a U.S. drone and warning of decisive retaliation against any ceasefire violations, as negotiations to end the war continue. President Trump, facing questions about his health ahead of his 80th birthday, insisted he is in excellent condition during a checkup following a ceremony honoring U.S. war dead, including 13 servicemembers lost in the Iran conflict. The U.S. is pushing for the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and linking any deal to expanded Middle Eastern participation in the Abraham Accords, with bipartisan support for a resolution despite ongoing complications.
