Trump's Iran ceasefire claim implodes as nation rejects it: 'False and baseless'

President Donald Trump took to social media Wednesday morning to claim that Iran had “just asked the United States for a ceasefire” – a claim that was swiftly dismissed hours later by Tehran as “false and baseless,” Reuters reported.

Initiated by the United States in late February, the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran has rattled global stability, sent tremors through the world market and sent oil prices soaring. Reportedly, the Trump administration has grown increasingly panicked over the war’s fallout, but has struggled to find a way out of the conflict.

Trump admin can spin Iran exit but will fail to convince key group: analysis

Donald Trump's administration may be ready to form an exit plan explanation for the Iran war, but it will fail to convince a key group, according to a political analyst.

Strikes on Iran last month affected crude oil prices, putting pressure on the United States' economy. Further explanations from the president's team left much to be desired, and, according to CNN analyst Stephen Collinson, the economic experts and markets are unlikely to be moved by an exit plan proposal.

'Bad for Trump': Conservative justice hits president's lawyer with 'cutting' court reply

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch seemed to doubt the arguments of Solicitor General John Sauer in his attempt to strike down birthright citizenship in the U.S.

Anti-Trump court ruling has footnote that raises 'prospect of fight over contempt': expert

President Donald Trump got some bad news when a federal judge blocked construction of his much-touted White House ballroom project on Tuesday evening — but there is something buried in the ruling that could make it much worse for him, former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance wrote on her Substack.

"Senior Judge Richard Leon in the District of Columbia did the honors," wrote Vance. "He was appointed by George W. Bush in 2002, so, not exactly a liberal. The issue comes down to whether Trump has the legal authority to tear down the East Wing and build a ballroom. 'Because Congress holds the keys to the Nation's property, the President must have some statutory basis to build the ballroom,' Judge Leon explains."
