“We have Iran very much under control”, he told reporters before his trip to China where he faces a high-stakes meeting with president Xi Jinping.
As the fragile ceasefire threatens to collapse, the US military are now considering renaming the war “Operation Sledgehammer” to resume major combat, according to Jattvibe.
The Trump administration’s latest proposal addressed a deal to end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and roll back Iran’s nuclear program.
Tehran responded with a counter-offer over the weekend, requesting US reparations, recognition of Tehran’s sovereignty over the Strait and the release of Iranian assets, according to state media.

The mullah chiefs were reportedly willing to temporarily halt uranium enrichment, but refused to dismantle its nuclear facilities.
Trump blasted Tehran’s response as “completely unacceptable” and warned the ceasefire is “on life support”.
Iran hit back, saying its “armed forces are ready to respond and to teach a lesson for any aggression”.
In another chilling warning, the regime’s national security spokesperson said that it could enrich its uranium to a weapons-grade level.

Ebrahim Rezaei said on X: “One of Iran’s options in the event of another attack could be 90% enrichment.”
Tehran’s enriched uranium stockpiles have been a key sticking point in negotiations to end the war.
Last June, Donald Trump said Iran’s nuclear facilities were ‘obliterated’ by US and Israeli strikes during a 12-day war, severely limiting Iran’s capacity to enrich uranium.
But the fate of around 400kgs of uranium enriched to 60 per cent remains unclear.
The Trump administration declared an end to Operation Epic Fury after the US and Iran agreed to a ceasefire in early April.
But if the deal with Iran falls through, two US officials claim Operation Sledge Hammer could resume major combat operations.
It comes as the Pentagon broke protocol to reveal the US Navy’s secret nuclear-armed submarine is docked in Gibraltar.
The submarine’s Trident II ballistic missiles have a range of over 4,500 miles.
It has also been reported that the UAE carried out secret strikes on Iran causing major damage to the key Lavan Island oil refinery last month.
As negotiations stall to end the Strait of Hormuz standoff, global oil prices have skyrocketed, pushing Brent crude futures to around $104 a barrel.
If the key waterway remains closed, the world will face mass starvation, a UN task force has warned.
But Trump insisted on Tuesday that measures taken by the US are “working perfectly”.
Asked about the financial effects of the war, Trump said on Tuesday: “I think about one thing – we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.”.
The US president is set for a “long talk” with China’s president about the ongoing conflict.
China is a key ally of Iran and the biggest buyer of Iranian oil.
Trump not yet been able to press Xi into using Beijing’s considerable leverage to get Tehran to agree to US terms to end the war or reopen the Strait.
