Trump is a toxic ally. His war with Iran is once again spreading across the Gulf

Trump's Iran war: A $40 billion catastrophe that hurts Americans most

TEHRAN- When Donald Trump last week declared victory in his war against Iran, he painted a picture of American triumph. OIL IS FLOWING, IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON... PRICES ARE DROPPING, he boasted on social media. But a comprehensive CNN analysis of the 100-day conflict reveals a devastating reality that the President's all-caps pronouncements cannot obscure: this was a war that bankrupted American taxpayers, emptied the nation's strategic reserves, and inflicted economic pain on ordinary families—all while killing more than 7,500 civilians in the region.

Trump questions Nato allies' support during Iran conflict

Trump questions Nato allies' support during Iran conflict US President Donald Trump has criticised Italy and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for not joining the United States and Israel in their military campaign against Iran. In a social media post, Trump argued that Nato allies had benefited from American support for decades but failed to reciprocate during the conflict. After spending Trillions of Dollars on NATO, Italy, and its Prime Minister, wouldn't even think of becoming involved with the Islamic Republic of Iran and their very serious Nuclear Threat, Trump wrote. He added: For decades, we defend them, but when tested, they are not there to defend us, and the rest of the World. Not good! The comments come amid a reported deterioration in relations between Trump and Meloni, with the US president recently making critical remarks about the Italian leader following the G7 summit in France.
