As the US-Israeli war on Iran enters a third month, there is no imminent sign of a break in the deadlock between Washington and Tehran.

These are the main takeaways from what happened overnight.

What did Trump say?

“I am doing something with Iran, right now, that other Nations, or Presidents, should have done long ago,” Trump wrote in a social media post.

“Iran has just informed us that they are in a ‘State of Collapse.’ They want us to ‘Open the Hormuz Strait,’ as soon as possible, as they try to figure out their leadership situation (Which I believe they will be able to do!).”

Merz on Monday said the US was “being humiliated” by Iran and there was “no exit strategy” to end the Middle Eastern conflict any time soon.
