Trump calls Iran war a little diversion despite public anger

US President Donald Trump has described the ongoing war with Iran as a little diversion during his second term, even as opinion polls show that many Americans oppose the conflict.​ Speaking at an event in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he promoted his no tax on tips measure from last year’s major tax reform bill, the 79 year old leader praised his current economic record. He told supporters that the United States had the best economy in its history during his first term and that things are even better now.​ Trump referred to the war in Iran as a diversion to the lovely country of Iran and insisted that military action was necessary to prevent really bad things from happening. He was apparently referring to concerns about Iran’s nuclear ambitions.​ An Ipsos poll conducted last weekend found that 51 percent of […]

US says it is optimistic about reaching peace deal with Iran

The United States is exploring a second round of peace talks with Iran in Pakistan and is “optimistic” about reaching a deal to end the ongoing war, US officials have said. A Pakistani delegation has arrived in Tehran with a new message from Washington after US President Donald Trump signalled that negotiations could resume this week, following last weekend’s failed talks in Islamabad. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that any further discussions would “very likely” take place again in Islamabad, adding: “Those discussions are being had, and we feel good about the prospects of a deal.” The renewed diplomatic push comes as Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif intensifies shuttle diplomacy, including a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, to support efforts to end the six‑week conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States. US Vice […]

China calls US blockade of Iran ports ‘dangerous and irresponsible’

China has condemned the United States over its blockade of Iranian ports, describing Washington’s actions as “dangerous and irresponsible” amid soaring tensions in the Gulf. US President Donald Trump ordered a naval blockade threatening to sink ships entering or leaving Iranian ports after weekend peace talks between Washington and Tehran collapsed. The blockade took effect at 1400 GMT on Monday, despite the two sides having agreed to a fragile two‑week ceasefire just days earlier. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said the US decision to increase military deployments and enforce a targeted blockade would only heighten tensions and undermine the already fragile ceasefire. He warned that the move further endangers safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil shipments. Iran has effectively closed the strait to most traffic, allowing only vessels serving countries it regards […]

Five ways the Strait of Hormuz affects global oil supply

The potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz poses a major threat to global oil supply, given its role as one of the world’s most critical energy transit routes. The narrow channel connects the Persian Gulf to international markets and serves as a gateway for crude exports from key Middle East producers. Here are five ways the Strait of Hormuz affects global oil supply: Massive disruption to global oil flowAround 20 per cent of the world’s daily oil supply, estimated at roughly 20 million barrels, passes through the strait. A closure would immediately halt a significant portion of exports from major producers such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, creating a sudden supply shock in global markets. Limited alternative routesSome countries have pipelines that bypass the strait, but these alternatives cannot fully replace the volume transported […]

Fuel protests disrupt Ireland supply chain

Fuel tankers have regained entry to a major oil refinery in Ireland after several days of disruption caused by ongoing protests. Earlier on Saturday, Irish police, An Garda Síochána, moved in to clear the blockade at the Whitegate Refinery in County Cork. Officers used pepper spray and were supported by the Irish Defence Forces to remove tractors that had been obstructing access. This allowed fuel trucks to resume operations at the site. The protests, now in their fifth day, have significantly disrupted fuel distribution across the country. Hundreds of petrol stations have already run dry, and industry representatives warn the situation could worsen if blockades continue. The group Fuels for Ireland has cautioned that up to two-thirds of filling stations could run out of fuel if access to storage depots is not fully restored. While access has been re-established at […]

US denies agreeing to unfreeze Iran assets

A senior United States official has denied a report that Washington agreed to unfreeze Iranian assets held in Qatar and other foreign banks as part of ongoing talks with Tehran. The denial came after an unnamed Iranian source told Reuters that the US had consented to releasing the frozen funds in return for safe passage for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. In a message from the White House, a senior US official dismissed the report as false, stressing that the meetings between both sides had not even started at the time the claim was made. Iran and the US have sent delegations to Islamabad, Pakistan, for talks aimed at ending the wider war in the Middle East. Tehran has publicly insisted that any permanent ceasefire must include unfreezing its sanctioned assets and an end to Israel’s war on Hezbollah […]

Five key facts about the US Iran talks in Pakistan

The United States and Iran are holding their highest level talks in years in Islamabad, Pakistan, in a bid to turn a fragile two week ceasefire into a lasting end to the war that has shaken global energy markets. The war behind the talksOn February 28, the US and Israel launched coordinated strikes that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and hit key military and nuclear sites, with more than 2,000 people killed in five weeks. Tehran responded by effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway through which about a fifth of global oil and gas passes, pushing energy prices higher and disrupting trade. On April 8, Pakistan brokered a two week ceasefire between Washington and Tehran, with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council saying the talks could last up to 15 days and the truce expected to expire […]

Iran sets new ship routes in Strait of Hormuz

Iran has announced new shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, citing safety concerns over possible sea mines in the main channel used by vessels. The decision comes as Tehran agreed to temporarily reopen the strategic waterway under a two week truce deal, after weeks of tension that threatened global oil supplies. About one fifth of the world’s oil passes through the strait. In a statement reported by local media, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps advised all ships to follow designated alternative paths to reduce the risk of hitting sea mines and to improve maritime safety. The guidance includes revised entry and exit routes for vessels using the corridor. The move follows a ceasefire agreement reached between Iran and the United States, which took effect overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday. The truce was reportedly secured less than an hour before […]

US and Iran agree to temporary ceasefire deal

The United States and Iran have agreed to a conditional two-week ceasefire, allowing the temporary resumption of shipping through the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The agreement follows more than a month of escalating tensions after coordinated US and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets. The breakthrough came just hours after US President Donald Trump issued a stark warning, threatening severe consequences if Iran failed to reopen the key maritime route. Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, who has been facilitating the talks, confirmed that the ceasefire took effect immediately on Wednesday. Positions from Washington and Tehran President Trump stated that the US would pause military operations for two weeks, provided Iran ensures full access to the Strait of Hormuz. He indicated that the decision was made after the US had achieved its primary military objectives. The announcement followed earlier remarks by Trump […]

Oil prices fall after US-Iran ceasefire deal

Global financial markets reacted positively after the United States and Iran agreed to a conditional two-week ceasefire, which includes reopening the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The development led to a sharp drop in oil prices and strong gains in stock markets worldwide. Brent crude fell by around 13% to $94.80 per barrel, while US crude dropped more than 15% to $95.75. Despite this decline, prices remain above pre-conflict levels, when oil traded near $70 per barrel in late February. Energy markets had been under pressure due to disruptions in Middle Eastern supply, particularly after Iran threatened to target vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz in response to US and Israeli strikes. Stock markets mirrored the improved sentiment. European indices opened higher, with London’s FTSE 100 rising by 2.53%, France’s CAC 40 gaining 4%, and Germany’s DAX climbing nearly 5%. […]
