# US-Iran War Live Updates: Trump Says US "In No Rush" To End Iran War

On Thursday, April 23, 2026, President [Donald Trump](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqt90&q=US-Iran+War+Live+Updates:+Trump+Says+US+%22In+No+Rush%22+To+End+Iran+War) stated that the [United States](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/09c7w0&q=US-Iran+War+Live+Updates:+Trump+Says+US+%22In+No+Rush%22+To+End+Iran+War) is "in no rush" to end the ongoing war with [Iran](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/03shp&q=US-Iran+War+Live+Updates:+Trump+Says+US+%22In+No+Rush%22+To+End+Iran+War), emphasizing his focus on securing a durable, "everlasting" peace deal rather than a quick resolution. While signaling no immediate urgency, Trump warned that "the clock is ticking" for Tehran as a third American [aircraft carrier](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/39590/name-the-indian-naval-ship-the-largest-ship-in-the-navy-and-the-country-s-only-aircraft-carrier-which), the USS George H.W. Bush, arrived in the region to reinforce the [U.S. naval blockade](https://gulfnews.com/world/americas/us-iran-ceasefire-trump-orders-us-military-to-shoot-and-kill-iranian-small-boats-choking-strait-of-hormuz-1.500516149).

## Key Developments (April 24, 2026)

- **Military Buildup:** The [USS George H.W. Bush](https://www.wionews.com/world/live-blog-us-israel-iran-war-live-updates-trump-netanyahu-mojtaba-khamenei-lebanon-strait-of-hormuz-ceasefire-truce-1777002940828) joined the USS Gerald R. Ford and USS Abraham Lincoln in the Middle East, bringing the total number of U.S. carriers in the region to three.
- **Stalled Peace Talks:** Prospective negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan, remain in limbo as Iran demands an end to the U.S. blockade of its ports before resuming diplomacy.
- **Ceasefire Extensions:**

   - [**Iran**](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/03shp&q=US-Iran+War+Live+Updates:+Trump+Says+US+%22In+No+Rush%22+To+End+Iran+War)**:** Trump has indefinitely extended a tenuous ceasefire to allow more time for a "unified proposal" from Iranian leadership.
   - **Lebanon:** An [Israel-Lebanon ceasefire](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/4/23/iran-war-live-israel-kills-lebanese-journalist-tehran-us-talks-stalled) was extended by three weeks following meetings between Trump and ambassadors from both nations at the White House.

- **Nuclear Weapons Ruled Out:** Trump explicitly ruled out using nuclear weapons, asserting that conventional strikes have already "decimated" Iran's military capacity.
- **Maritime Escalation:** Trump ordered the U.S. Navy to "shoot and kill" any small boats attempting to lay mines in the [Strait of Hormuz](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/88520/donald-trump-sends-warships-to-break-iran-s-strait-of-hormuz-blockade). Meanwhile, the Pentagon reported the seizure of the oil tanker *Majestic X* in the Indian Ocean for allegedly smuggling Iranian crude.
- **Blasts in Tehran:** Iranian state media reported air defence activity over Tehran late Thursday to counter "hostile targets," the first such incident since the April 8 ceasefire. An [Israeli security source](https://www.moneycontrol.com/world/trump-says-us-in-no-rush-but-clock-is-ticking-for-iran-article-13898011.html/amp) stated Israel was not responsible for the activity.
