Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman allegedly urged Trump to pursue regime change in Iran, even as Saudi officials publicly insist the country does not seek a wider war

This is the latest controversial post from AIPAC-endorsed Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee who is renowned for his Islamophobic comments, one of a number of Trump allies expressing sharp anti-Muslim sentiments

Treasury yields and swap spreads could eventually pressure the Trump administration to moderate the conflict, analysts argue.

The SEC’s handling of cases involving Justin Sun and Elon Musk was among the factors that caused the agency’s top enforcement official to quit, according to sources. Update (March 25, 12:18 am UTC): This article has been updated to add a response from the SEC. The US Securities and Exchange Commission's former top enforcement official reportedly clashed with the regulator’s top brass before resigning last week, with part of the reason being how the agency handled cases involving those close to US President Donald Trump. Margaret Ryan, the ex-director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement, wanted to pursue fraud and other charges in cases involving those in Trump’s orbit, but was resisted by SEC Chair Paul Atkins and other Republican political appointees, Reuters reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Sources told Reuters that a private phone call between the Israeli prime minister, in which he stressed that Trump could 'make history' by toppling the ayatollah regime and take revenge for Iranian efforts to assassinate him, was central in Trump's decision to strike when he did

US President Donald Trump said on Monday he had given orders to postpone any military strikes against Iranian power plants for five days, hours ahead of a deadline that threatened further escalation in the conflict now in its fourth week. Trump claimed in a post on his Truth Social platform that the US and Iran had had “VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE” conversations over the past two days about a “COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST”. The White House did not respond to questions about the content of the talks, who participated or where they were held. For its part, Iran has denied holding any talks with the US. But, later, when Trump spoke to the media in Florida, he asserted that if talks failed, “we’ll just keep bombing our little hearts out”. He claimed that the Iranian side had initiated contact with the US. “They called, I didn’t call,” he said. “They want to make a deal, and we are very willing to make a deal.” He also claimed that there were already “major points of agreement” with...

Trump faces a choice between a negotiated deal or declaring military damage a victory. A deal means engaging a regime he sought to topple, while claiming victory leaves it intact. Iran's regime, meanwhile, faces its own dilemmas too

Trump said that the two countries held "very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East."

Bitcoin and Asian markets dropped on Monday as Iran escalated threats to strike critical infrastructure in the Gulf. Crypto and the wider markets tumbled on Monday as the US and Iran escalated threats toward one another for the fourth week, sending oil prices seesawing.  US President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social on Sunday that the US would “hit and obliterate” Iranian power plants, “starting with the biggest one first,” if the country didn’t open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours. Iran responded by saying it will answer any US strikes on its power or water infrastructure with attacks on US and Israeli assets in the Gulf and threatened to completely close the Strait, one of the world’s vital oil shipping lanes.  Read more

Trump claimed Herzog had agreed to pardon Netanyahu, 'but never did,' adding that 'Bibi should be focused on the war, not on nonsense'

Both the alert and Bessent's hard‑line comments – including that all options remain on the table, from U.S. boots on the ground to a possible takeover of Kharg Island – came hours after Trump gave Iran 48 hours to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face U.S. strikes on its power plants

US President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants if Tehran does not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, a significant escalation barely a day after he talked about “winding down” the war. “If Iran doesn’t fully open, without threat, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 hours from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various power plants, starting with the biggest one first!” Trump said on social media. Trump’s ultimatum would expand the scope of US strikes to infrastructure that affects daily civilian life in Iran. The threat of Iranian attacks has kept most ships from getting through the strait, a narrow waterway that serves as the conduit for around a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas supplies, threatening a global energy shock. Its near-closure sent European gas prices surging as much as 35 per cent last week. Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya military command headquarters said on Sunday that if the US attacks I...

The war has exposed U.S. military superiority – but also its limits. As Trump falls short of his goals, Iran's grip on global oil and the risk of a strengthened regime in Tehran underscore the need to address enriched uranium

On Truth Social, Trump warned he would strike Iranian energy facilities if the strait remains closed and criticized U.S. allies for not committing forces. He added, 'the Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded… by other nations who use it – the United States does not,' in a post following his ultimatum

President Donald Trump ends the third week of the Iran war, confronting a crisis that seems to be slipping out of his hands. Global energy prices are surging, the United States stands isolated from allies and more troops are preparing to deploy despite his promise that the war would be only a “short excursion.” A defensive Trump called other NATO countries “cowards” for refusing to help secure the Strait of Hormuz and insisted the campaign was unfolding according to plan. But his declaration on Friday that the battle “was Militarily WON” clashed with the reality of a defiant Iran that is choking off Gulf oil and gas supplies while launching missile strikes across the region. Trump, who took office promising to keep the US out of “stupid” military interventions, now appears to control neither the outcome nor the messaging of a conflict he helped to initiate. The lack of a clear exit strategy carries risks both for his presidential legacy and his party’s political prospects as Republicans scramble to defend nar...

Donald Trump’s war with Iran is weighing on independent US voters, a crucial bloc likely to determine if the president’s Republican Party maintains control of Congress in the November midterm elections. At a breakfast diner in Pennsylvania, a swing state where voters often shift between parties, there was a mix of anger and confusion over the new conflict. “Trump’s just miring us in another Iraq, Vietnam situation,” said retired postal worker Jolene Lloyd, 65, referencing the two prolonged wars often seen as failures for the United States. Lloyd has never voted for Trump, but has previously split her ticket between parties. Not this year — in November, she will only support Democrats. Republicans only narrowly control Congress — where every seat is up in the House and about one-third of the Senate — so even a small loss of voters could spell trouble. The midterm contests will determine whether Trump governs with a cooperative Congress or faces a Democratic majority empowered to block legislation and launch in...
