Summary

  • Stephen Miller said some Iranian officials are "desperate" to reach a deal with the Trump administration as Washington resumes strikes on Iran.
  • The White House says Tehran violated a ceasefire by attacking commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, triggering renewed military action and broader pressure.
  • Miller said the administration is prepared to use bombing, a blockade, economic strangulation and global pressure until Iran changes course.
  • He argued internal splits in Iran show the strategy is working after 47 years with little visible division, while reiterating that stopping an Iranian nuclear weapon remains the end goal.
