The US president, Donald Trump, has claimed in a new Truth Social post that Iran has “just informed” Washington that they are in a “state of collapse”. Trump also said Iran wants the US to open the strait of Hormuz “as soon as possible” as they try to “figure out” their “leadership situation”, something he says he believes is possible.

We have not been able to verify any of these claims. Iran has not commented on them yet.

Trump has not said who the US has been speaking to in Iran as he has cast the regime in a state of chaos with the country’s supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, reportedly severely injured, and lawmakers divided on negotiations about Tehran’s nuclear programme.
