Trump says we're 'blowing up the whole country' if Iran doesn't make deal in 48 hours

A tanker was struck by an "unknown projectile" off the coast of Dubai on Monday, sparking a fire, according to a maritime security alert.

The incident occurred about 31 nautical miles northwest of Dubai, near the Strait of Hormuz, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations Centre.

A Kuwaiti crude oil tanker was damaged in the strike, according to the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation. The tanker was fully loaded at the time, the company said. 

All crew members are safe, and no environmental impact has been reported, according to the UKMTO.

The incident is under investigation, according to the UKMTO, which advised vessels to "transit with caution."

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said she thinks President Donald Trump "would be quite interested in calling" on Middle East allies like Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to pay for the costs of the war in Iran.

“I won't get ahead of him on that. But certainly it's an idea that I know that he has, and something that I think you'll hear more from him on,” she said in response to a reporter’s question at Monday’s White House briefing.

President Donald Trump told the New York Post on Monday that the U.S. is talking to new leaders in Iran, without providing more details.

“There has been total regime change because the regimes of the past are gone and we’re dealing with a whole new set of people,” Trump said. “And thus far, they’ve been much more reasonable.”

The president also said the U.S. response to Iranian strikes on an Israeli oil refinery would be seen soon.

“You’ll see shortly,” Trump told the paper when asked about his response.

Trump added that the U.S. is waiting to see if Iran’s Parliamentary Leader Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf will work with the U.S., and he claimed that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was “seriously injured.”

“We’re gonna find out,” Trump told The Post when asked about Ghalibaf. “I’ll let you know that in about a week.”

“Nobody’s heard from him,” Trump said of the younger Khamenei. “He’s very seriously injured.”

Asked if he was still alive, Trump said that he “probably” was.

“We don’t know. We think probably yes, but in extraordinarily bad shape,” he said.

A missile launched from Iran was intercepted by NATO air defenses after it entered Turkey's airspace, Turkey’s Ministry of National Defense said.

The ballistic missile was "neutralized by NATO air and missile defense assets deployed in the Eastern Mediterranean," the Turkish officials said in a statement.

This is the fourth time NATO has intercepted a projectile from Iran as it approached or entered Turkish airspace. Iran has previously denied launching projectiles at Turkey.
