Vice President JD Vance said the interests of the U.S. and Israel are not always in sync as President Trump's relationship with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been tested over the Iran war.
"Prime Minister Netanyahu, look, he governs a country that has obviously been a very close partner of the United States. But, even when we've been close partners, sometimes we have interests that are perfectly aligned and sometimes we have interests that are misaligned," Vance told Robert Costa in an interview airing this week on "CBS Sunday Morning."
Asked whether Netanyahu has made any mistakes in how he's approached his relationship with the U.S. on Iran, Vance said, "he's certainly gotten some things wrong."

The U.S. military is planning to bomb "key facilities" within Iran tonight, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters Wednesday, after President Trump threatened a round of major strikes.
"Central Command will be busy tonight because President Trump said we will be hitting Iran hard, and we will be," the defense secretary said, pledging "strong" and "clear" strikes.
He told reporters the goal is to get Iran to codify a deal with the United States, accusing Iranian negotiators of stringing their U.S. counterparts along.
"If we need to negotiate with bombs, we'll negotiate with bombs. And we're very good at it," he said.

The Trump administration unveiled fresh sanctions Wednesday against people and companies accused of helping Iran's armed forces and Revolutionary Guards acquire weapons abroad, and a government entity that allegedly helped Iran target the U.S. military in March.
The State Department sanctioned the Center for Innovation and Technology Cooperation, which it described as an Iranian government organization "involved in the procurement of satellite imagery to support kinetic strikes by Iranian armed forces." Those included a March strike near a facility hosting U.S. troops.
The State Department also announced sanctions against a Belarus-based entity called Armory Alliance, which allegedly helped ship man-portable air-defense systems, or MANPADS, from China to Iran, acting as "an intermediary between China-based companies and Iran." The group was sanctioned by the Treasury Department last month. And the Treasury placed sanctions on five people and four firms based in China.

From virtually the start of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran in February, President Trump has insisted it is almost over. And he's continued to give timelines ranging from a few days to a few weeks.
Fifteen weeks later — three times longer than his initial four-to-five-week estimate — ending the war has proven elusive.

What to know about the Iran war today:
- U.S. Central Command said the U.S. launched another round of strikes on Iran after President Trump said Wednesday that Tehran had "taken too long to negotiate a deal" and would "pay the price."
- Iran appeared to retaliate early Thursday morning local time as Kuwait and Bahrain reported incoming strikes.
- Mr. Trump told reporters earlier at the White House he would hit Iran "hard" as the ceasefire between the countries appeared to crumble with an earlier exchange of fire sparked by the downing of a U.S. Army helicopter.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also told reporters, "If we need to negotiate with bombs, we'll negotiate with bombs. And we're very good at it."

Kuwait, Bahrain report incoming strikes
By Faris Tanyos
Both Kuwait and Bahrain reported incoming strikes early Thursday morning local time.
The Kuwaiti army said on X that its "air defense systems" were "intercepting hostile aerial targets." Bahrain's interior ministry posted on social media that it had activated its emergency air raid siren. This comes after the U.S. military hours earlier launched a second round of what U.S. Central Command described as "self-defense" strikes on targets inside Iran.

CENTCOM denies Iran's claim the Strait of Hormuz is closed
By Jordan Freiman
U.S. Central Command on Wednesday night denied Iran's claim that the Strait of Hormuz was closed following a new wave of strikes on the country.
"Commercial ships are continuing to transit in and out of the Strait of Hormuz tonight," CENTCOM said on social media.
Traffic through the strait, a key waterway for transporting oil, has slowed significantly since the start of the war. Earlier Wednesday, President Trump said efforts to help guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz have resulted in 100 million barrels of oil being moved through the channel as part of a "secret mission."

President Trump told Fox News' Trey Yingst that he has spoken directly with top Iranian officials following the latest wave of U.S. strikes, and that they asked for the bombing to stop.
According to Yingst, Mr. Trump, who said he was in the White House Situation Room with Vice President JD Vance, his son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff, said the strikes have included 49 Tomahawk missiles that have struck targets as close as 40 miles from Tehran.
Mr. Trump also said U.S. fighter jets are taking out radar and air defense systems in southwest Iran.
Mr. Trump told Yingst the latest bombing campaign would end soon, and that Israel is not involved in the strikes. Asked what would happen if Iran doesn't agree to a peace deal, the president said: "We'll bomb the s*** out of them tomorrow night."

U.S. forces began striking Iran at 5:15 p.m. ET, in what U.S. Central Command called "self-defense strikes."
The strikes are "in response to Iran's unwarranted and continued aggression," CENTCOM said, and are targeted at key Iranian facilities such as ammunition depots, command and control nodes and warehouses, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the airstrikes.
The strikes came hours after President Trump told reporters, "We're going to hit them hard again today in case you miss it, in case you don't turn on your television set. And we'll see what happens with a deal. We were — we were really close to a deal, but they keep tapping us along."

100 million barrels of oil transported through Strait of Hormuz in "secret mission," Trump says
By Mark OsbornePresident Trump elaborated on comments he made in the Oval Office earlier, saying the U.S. had undertaken a "secret mission" to "support Oil Tankers and other Commercial Ships through the Strait of Hormuz" over the last month.
"Today, I am pleased to announce that this effort has resulted in more than 100 MILLION Barrels of Oil making its way through the Strait, and into the Open Market," the president wrote on Truth Social. "More than 200 Commercial Ships have safely traveled through the Strait. This wildly successful effort is because the UNITED STATES of AMERICA CONTROLS the Strait of Hormuz — NOT Iran."
Trump had earlier said the U.S. was "taking out" millions of barrels of oil in the middle night and Iran did not know because their radar systems were destroyed by U.S. strikes.
