Donald Trump

The post on Trump’s Truth Social platform, which Trump later said was meant to portray him as a doctor, came amid his escalating feud with Pope Leo.

Trump said he didn't want to comment on what would happen if a deal wasn't reached by the end of the ongoing ceasefire, but that "it won't be pleasant for them, let me put it that way."

Freedom will indeed come for the Persian people; it is only a matter of time.

During the Hungary elections, the Israeli Right and Left expressed explicit support for one side or another, including elected officials and political activists.

A creator behind viral Lego-style pro-Iran videos told BBC that Tehran is a client, while spreading false claims about the US, Israel, and war events.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu says Israel fully backs Trump’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, rejects claims of a rift with Washington, and stresses US demands to halt Tehran's nuclear enrichment program.

Trump said the US military would work with other countries to block all maritime traffic in the waterway, after weekend talks failed to reach an agreement to end the six-week conflict with Iran.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has said he understood Trump's frustrations with the alliance, but that the "large majority of European nations" had been helpful to Washington's war effort in Iran.

The blockade was set to begin at 10 a.m. Eastern Time, which is in the afternoon in Iran. Whether this marks a bold new strategy or a sign the US is grasping at straws remains to be seen.

The post remained online for over an hour and gained traction on American platforms, reaching roughly half a million views.
