Not all opposition to war is created equal. There is a difference between an argument about costs and risks, and a narrative that attributes policy to a hidden.

“US allies need to get a grip – step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz,” the president wrote on Truth Social, copying the title of an editorial from the New York Post shared in the post.

From Washington’s perspective, the war against Iran marks a turning point in its relations with its allies in the Middle East.

While Trump has for years disparaged news coverage he deems unfavorable, his recent comments mark an escalation of threats against the news media.

Trump’s call to escort tankers through Hormuz is testing how far pacifist Japan can go, as legal limits and past precedents shape Tokyo’s response.

If a regime that funds terrorism, admits that it has enough enriched uranium for 11 nuclear bombs, and is now holding the world’s economy hostage, is not a shared threat, then what is?

Issues in the Strait of Hormuz "could extend the war by as much as two months,” one source familiar with the discussions said.

Two anonymous sources told the Post that current US intelligence assessments predict that the regime will remain intact following Operation Epic Fury, and may even become emboldened.

'We'll be leaving in pretty much the very near future,' Trump said.

Kharg Island, a tiny Persian Gulf outpost, controls nearly all of Iran’s oil exports, making it the regime’s key economic vulnerability.
