A United States official confirmed to Townhall that “the United States is still committed to finding a resolution, and technical talks continue,” adding that “Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon.”

“Iran’s attacks on these innocent vessels are acts of terrorism,” the official added.

In response to cargo ship strikes by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. unleashed strikes on roughly 170 “Iranian military targets” on Tuesday and Wednesday.

“U.S. forces struck approximately 90 Iranian military targets including air defense systems, coastal surveillance assets, missile and drone storage sites, naval capabilities, and military logistics infrastructure along Iran’s coastline,” U.S. Central Command wrote on X Wednesday night, stating that “the latest strikes follow successful execution of offensive strikes in Iran the night before.”
