Iran War

NPR - The conflict in the Middle East shows no signs of slowing down as Israel announced new strikes on western Iran yesterday. Iran’s foreign minister has denied President Trump’s claim that Iran asked for a ceasefire. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, cutting off a quarter of oil and natural gas supplies from the rest of the world. Trump is pressuring countries to help reopen it. New Israeli ground operations in Lebanon are also heating up a second front in the war....

As gas prices soar, global markets struggle and polls show that Americans are skeptical of the war, Trump's administration is pushing a message of victory. The administration at first struggled to provide clear justification for U.S. involvement in this war, leaving it politically vulnerable, NPR’s Franco Ordoñez says. \.
