http://apple.news/Ab115wni_QpWY3b4xNA_QUQ Phew! Almost sounded like the opposite of a ceasefire there, but apparently not. A ceasefire (or cease-fire) is a temporary stoppage of war or armed conflict (or an excursion?) in which opposing sides agree to suspend aggressive actions. It is a formal...

US president, Donald Trump, has issued a fresh ultimatum, telling Iran to accept a deal to end the war in the Middle East or face a new wave of US bombing “at a much higher level and intensity than it was before”. The social media announcement on Wednesday was the latest in a rapid series of...

In his morning post, Trump said: "Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to (???), which is, perhaps, a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an ⁠end, and the highly effective Blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be OPEN TO ALL, including Iran."...

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he would “briefly pause” an operation to help escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, citing progress toward a comprehensive agreement with Iran. "We have mutually agreed (?) that, while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, Project...

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the U.S. had successfully secured a path through the waterway and that hundreds of commercial ships were lining up (???) to pass through. The four-week-old truce with Iran was not over, he added. http://apple.news/ASfwPatGfTryOxkoPAA_oPA Asked what Iran...
