On March 30, President Trump is floating the idea of seizing Iran's Carg Island oil terminal in the Persian Gulf, right as U.S. and Israeli strikes. Hammer, the Islamic Republic. This comes amid glimmers of hope in ceasefire talks, with Iran agreeing to let 20 oil tankers pass through the strait of Hormuz starting Monday as in. A goodwill gesture. Meanwhile, Iran hit back by striking a key power and desalination plan in Kuwait, killing one worker and wounding 10 soldiers. Saudi Arabia knocked down five incoming missiles aimed at its oil-rich east, Bahrain issued alerts and defenses lit up the sky over Dubai with a fireball from an intercepted projectile. Sirens blared near Israel's main nuclear research center at dawn, while the military downed two drones from Yemen's Hathi rebels who just jumped into the fray. Over in Lebanon, an Indonesian peacekeeper died, and three others got hurt from an explosion during Israel's ground push against Hezbollah. Israel fired fresh strikes on military

targets across Tehran and a petrochemical site in the north, with no hazardous leaks reported. Trump noted 2,500 U.S. Marines are already in the region, another batch en route, as both sides swap peace plans. America's 15. Points for Iran's 5. Pakistan set to host U.S. Iran talks any day now, direct or indirect, though Iran's parliament speaker calls it a trap, while troops build up. Trump says negotiations are going well, but warns they might still need to hit hard, eyeing that easy island grab as tensions simmer across the Gulf.
