On February 27, 2026 — the day before US and Israeli forces launched Operation Epic Fury — a barrel of Brent crude oil cost $73. Six weeks later, it was trading above $115. In between those two numbers lies every gas station receipt, every grocery bill, every airline ticket, and every shipping surcharge that Americans…

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called it a “make-or-break moment.” The Council on Foreign Relations called it a “standoff growing by the hour.” Foreign Policy ran the headline: “US-Iran Peace Talks Risk Collapsing.” As Vice President JD Vance touched down in Islamabad on April 11, 2026, to lead the highest-level US-Iran talks since the 1979…

In Iran, Saturday is a working day. Schools are open. Streets are full.

On the morning of April 10, 2026, a US Air Force aircraft carrying Vice President JD Vance, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Senior Adviser Jared Kushner touched down in Islamabad, Pakistan.

Donald Trump posted on Truth Social: “Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out — 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them.” The clock had started. What followed was the most dangerous 48 hours in US foreign policy since…

Pete Hegseth walked to the podium with the confidence of a man who just won a war. He called it “historic.” He said Iran “begged.” He declared total American victory. Tehran said nothing publicly.
