Iran live updates: Trump threatens Iran infrastructure strikes if talks fail

U.S. Naval Forces Central Command said in a statement on Thursday that a sailor was injured aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier while it was conducting flight operations in the Arabian Sea.

The incident occurred on Wednesday, the Command said in a post to X.

"The injury is not combat-related nor life threatening. The sailor has been transported ashore for additional medical care and remains in stable condition. The circumstances of the incident are under investigation," it said.

The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Thursday urged all American citizens to leave Iraq, citing "widespread attacks on U.S. citizens and targets associated with the United States throughout Iraq" by "Iran-aligned terrorist militias."

The mission in Iraq remains open "to assist U.S. citizens," the embassy said in a post to X. "Do not attempt to come to the embassy in Baghdad or the consulate general in Erbil in light of ongoing risk of missiles, drones and rockets in Iraqi airspace."

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt offered little new insight into the status of negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, but warned on Wednesday that President Donald Trump is prepared to "unleash hell" if Tehran balks at making a deal to end the war.

"The president's preference is always peace. There does not need to be any more death and destruction," Leavitt told reporters at a press briefing.

"But if Iran fails to accept the reality of the current moment, if they fail to understand that they have been defeated militarily and will continue to be, President Trump will ensure they are hit harder than they have ever been hit before," she continued. "President Trump does not bluff, and he is prepared to unleash hell. Iran should not miscalculate again."
