How a decades-long campaign by Israel’s prime minister finally found its willing partner — and ignited the Middle East For more than two decades, Benjamin Netanyahu harbored a vision: a joint American-Israeli military campaign that would dismantle Iran’s nuclear program, cripple its military, and trigger the collapse of the Islamic Republic. He pitched it to…

The morning of April 22 began with a threat. “I expect to be bombing,” Trump told CNBC when asked whether he’d extend the Iran ceasefire past its Wednesday deadline. By evening, the ceasefire had been extended indefinitely. The blockade stayed. The deadline was gone. And across social media, a single acronym reappeared like a recurring…

On Tuesday, with hours remaining before the deadline he had called “highly unlikely” to move, Donald Trump moved it. The ceasefire with Iran — which the White House had repeatedly signaled would expire Wednesday evening — was extended indefinitely. No new end date was set. The blockade stayed. And the question that immediately followed was…

With the clock ticking toward a Wednesday deadline and a naval blockade still choking Iranian ports, President Donald Trump issued his starkest warning yet: if no deal is in hand when the ceasefire expires, the bombs may start falling again. “Maybe I won’t extend it,” Trump told reporters on Friday when asked what happens if…

The Iran negotiations in Islamabad have a public face — and a private war. JD Vance is in the room, pushing for a deal. Marco Rubio is on the record doubting one is possible. Trump is watching both men, reading the room, and deciding which vision of American power wins. The ceasefire expires April 21.…

The plan was elegant in theory: maximum economic pressure, crippling sanctions, and targeted tariffs would force Iran to the negotiating table on American terms.

It isn’t Tehran’s. WASHINGTON…

From 50% tariff threats on China to a full naval blockade, Trump has deployed every economic weapon in his arsenal against Tehran. Iran is still at the table — on its own terms. Donald Trump built his second-term political identity on the power of economic coercion. Tariffs brought China back to the table. Tariffs extracted…

Three byelection wins, five floor crossings, and an unprecedented parliamentary maneuver have handed Mark Carney something that narrowly eluded him at the ballot box: a majority government built to resist Donald Trump. When Mark Carney stepped in front of cameras Monday night to claim victory in three federal byelections, he was not just celebrating a…

With the ceasefire expiring in days, three nations are racing to narrow the gaps on uranium enrichment and Hormuz tolls — who has leverage and what a last-minute deal would require. Seven days. That is what separates the world from the expiration of the only thing currently standing between the United States and a resumed…

The President spent years attacking the JCPOA as the “worst deal ever made.” Now, with Vice President Vance in Islamabad and Iran at the table, the question haunting Republican hawks is whether Trump is about to sign something worse. For eight years, Donald Trump made the Obama Iran nuclear deal a centerpiece of his political…
