Israel warns attacks on Iran ‘will escalate and expand’ as Trump claims advances in ceasefire talks

Israel threatened to "escalate and expand" its attacks on Iran on Friday, even as US President Donald Trump claimed talks on ending the war were going well and gave Tehran more time to open the Strait of Hormuz. Iran, meanwhile, gave no signs of backing down. With stock markets reeling and economic fallout from the war extending far beyond the Middle East, Trump is under growing pressure to end Iran's chokehold on the strait, a strategic waterway through which a fifth of the world's oil is usually shipped. Iran has rejected a 15-point US proposal for a ceasefire that includes it relinquishing control of the strait, but at the same time has ordered thousands more troops to the region — possibly in preparation for a military attempt to wrest the waterway from Iran. A first res...

Trump issues cry for help to other nations to keep oil flowing during Iran war

US President Donald Trump has called on several other countries to send ships to the Middle East to open the Strait of Hormuz and ease the global oil supply disruptions brought on by his war in Iran. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical but narrow waterway in the Gulf region through which ships carrying one-fifth of the world's oil supply pass. It has all but shut due to the war in Iran. Trump today declared he has "beaten and completely decimated Iran, both militarily, economically, and in every other way", but in the same breath asked countries to help secure the 39-kilometre-wide passage.

Iran war enters its third week as 2500 more US Marines are being sent to the region

The US-Israel war with Iran entered its third week on Saturday as a missile struck a helipad inside the US Embassy compound in Baghdad and debris from an intercepted Iranian drone hit an oil facility in the United Arab Emirates, further increasing global anxiety about oil supplies. Iran's joint military command threatened to attack cities in the UAE, home to Dubai and one of the world's busiest airports, saying the US used "ports, docks and hideouts" there to launch strikes on Iran's Kharg Island, without providing evidence. It called on people to immediately evacuate areas where it said US forces were sheltering, naming Jebel Ali port in Dubai — the Mideast's busiest — as well as Khalifa port in Abu Dhabi and Fujairah port. Plumes of smoke rise after debris from...

Trump rules out talks absent Iran’s ‘unconditional surrender’

US President Donald Trump appeared to rule out negotiations with Iran to end the conflict in the Middle East, saying in a social media post on Friday that there will be no deal absent "unconditional surrender" from Tehran. "After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before," Trump said. He has said multiple times that whomever takes over leadership of Iran must be to the US's liking.

Country by country, here’s how the unfolding war is affecting the Middle East and beyond

The broadening Iran war has ricocheted across the region and beyond, with nearly every country in the Middle East sustaining damage from missile hits, drone strikes or shrapnel. Many are reporting casualties, and key embassies, economic engines and passageways have closed down. On Thursday, with the conflict's footprint growing, Azerbaijan accused Iran of carrying out a drone attack against it. Iran denied that, as its retaliatory attacks on Israel, other countries and American military bases continued.
