'Unpredictable' Trump's 'impossible' Iran dream is threatening a bloodbath: expert

Donald Trump's long-term plan for Iran may not be as achievable as the president wants it to be, according to a political analyst.

Professor Anthony Glees believes the Trump administration is looking to topple the Iranian government and bring about a friendlier relationship between Iran and the US as a result. This would be a tall order for the president's team, though, as Glees notes that finding a suitable replacement for ayatollah Ali Khamenei after the military action would be hard.

Alarm as 'unknown' company with deep Trump links in running for $25B government deal

An 'unknown' nuclear industry company with ties to Trump donors — that has never completed a nuclear energy project — has been under consideration for a $25 billion contract in a trade deal orchestrated between President Donald Trump and Japan, Politico reported Monday.

It's "a prospect that’s raising red flags among some U.S. investors" as the three-year-old company Entra1 Energy — with apparently less than five employees and a headquarters at a Houston WeWork — could be a finalist to develop new energy infrastructure with some of the $550 billion Japan's government promised to steer clear of Trump's tariffs, Politico reported.

As President Donald Trump appears poised to “pull the trigger” on launching a full-scale war with Iran at any moment, some of his top officials have been working behind the scenes to push the president into launching an attack by drawing comparisons to former President Barack Obama, Zeteo reported Monday.

The Trump administration has mobilized a colossal military force near Iran, the largest since the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, all in the hopes of pressuring its leaders into making a deal on reducing its weapon capabilities. According to Vice President JD Vance, however, peace talks have reached an impasse over Iranian leadership’s refusal to "acknowledge" some of Trump’s “red lines.”
