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...

Iran war will end ‘when I feel it in my bones’, says Trump

US President Donald Trump has said the war with Iran will end "when I feel it in my bones". Trump was asked on The Brian Kilmeade Show about the timeline of the war, which he previously described as a "brief excursion".

Trump announces ‘one of the most powerful bombing raids in the history’ on Iran’s ‘crown jewel’

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.

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.

Trump says he is ‘not happy’ with the Iran nuclear talks but indicates he’ll give them more time

US President Donald Trump said on Friday he's “not happy” with the latest talks over Iran's nuclear program but indicated he would give negotiators more time to reach a deal to avert another war in the Middle East. He spoke a day after US envoys held another inconclusive round of indirect talks with Iran in Geneva.
