President Donald Trump accused The New York Times of wanting the U.S. to lose its war with Iran and threatened imminent strikes on Pickaxe Mountain near Natanz.

The US president also says Washington will charge a 20% toll on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran launched more missiles at U.S. allies Thursday and said at least 14 people were killed in U.S. airstrikes over the last two days of escalating tit-for-tat strikes, sparked by Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz earlier this week.

An Iranian green-card-holding family offered to relocate to Türkiye, but court filings show DHS rejected the proposal.
