Trump: Not Forcing Iran to Return to Negotiations; Lindsay Clancy Trial Jury Deliberates For Fifth Day

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday dismissed reports that he seeks to force Iran into negotiations following the latest strikes against Tehran, saying the United States is currently in a better position. Trump said in a post on Truth Social that the U.S. military has almost complete control of the Strait of Hormuz, the critical waterway for global oil and gas shipment that Iran has sought to control.

Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial resumed deliberations Wednesday, a day after telling the judge they couldn’t agree on whether the Massachusetts mother was criminally responsible for killing her three children.

A former labor and delivery nurse, Clancy doesn’t deny strangling her three young children at the family’s home in 2023, but she says postpartum psychosis led to her actions. Prosecutors argue that she knew what she was doing. Clancy, 36, has pleaded not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility.
