Trump dealt devastating blow as Iranians close down Strait of Hormuz again: report

President Donald Trump’s coveted peace deal with Tehran was dealt a devastating blow Saturday after Iranian officials announced they would, again, be closing the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping vessels.

In a message from the Islamic Republic of Iran Armed Forces operational headquarters, Iranian military officials announced that the strait – a critical shipping waterway through which 20% of the world’s oil trade flows – would be closed due to the “flagrant bad faith and breach of covenant by America regarding the failure to implement the first clause of the end-of-war agreement,” according to the Iranian Fars News Agency.

Trump's $100 million stock trading rally fueled by favorable court ruling: analysis

President Donald Trump has talked a lot about the strength of the stock market recently, and a new analysis suggests that his recent surge in trading activity may be a motivating factor.

The New York Times published an analysis of Trump's stock trading activity on Friday that found the president's brokerage account has placed about 3,600 trades in thousands of stocks and bonds worth roughly $100 million during his second term. The activity largely stems from an appellate court ruling that threw out the $500 million judgment secured against Trump arising from a civil fraud lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. That ruling freed up more than $175 million in liquid assets for the president, and most of it has gone into the stock market, according to the analysis.

Ex-ambassador shocked by 'major concession' in Trump's Iran deal: 'Trump is giving up'

A former U.S. ambassador to Russia was shocked to read some of the proposals included in President Donald Trump's recent deal with the Iranian regime, according to a new essay.

Michael McFaul, who was the ambassador to Russia during the Obama administration, wrote in a new Substack essay that Trump's 14-point memorandum of understanding, signed this week at the Palace of Versailles in France, included language that precludes the U.S. from meddling in Iran's internal affairs. McFaul argued that the clause could allow Iran to continue funding terrorist groups in the region, and continue to suppress democracy activists in the country, which were two issues the Trump administration claimed as the war's raison d'être.
