Trump fumes at Nato for refusing to help secure the Strait of Hormuz

President Donald Trump said Tuesday NATO and most other allies have rejected his calls to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, grousing that he has been unable to rally support behind his war of choice in Iran that he insists he's conducting for the good of the world, even if it doesn't appreciate his effort. Trump, who has been pressing allies to help safeguard the critical waterway to ease a chokepoint on the region's oil exports, fumed that the U.S. is not getting support "despite the fact that we helped" NATO "so much," and said that it was in allies' interest to prevent Iran from securing a nuclear weapon. Trump's indignant response to allies' refusal to get involved in the war underscored that the conflict - now in its third week and causing reverberations across the global economy - is one the international community is looking to the U.S. leader to sort out himself after he launched it without consultation. "You would have thought they would have said, We'd love to send a coupl

Iran confirms killing of Basij force head Gen Gholam Reza Soleimani

The Iranian judiciary's news agency, Mizan, on Tuesday confirmed the death of Gen Gholam Reza Soleimani, the head of the Revolutionary Guard's all-volunteer Basij force. Earlier in the day, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said that Soleimani and Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council were "eliminated last night". Both men were key to Iran's violent crackdown on protests in January that challenged the theocracy's 47-year rule. The killings would strip Iran of important leaders during a war that presents that greatest test for the Islamic Republic in recent decades. Iran has not confirmed or denied the reported killing of Larijani, considered one of the most powerful figures in the country since Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in an airstrike on the first day of the war. Larijani, a former parliamentary speaker and senior policy adviser, advised the late Khamenei on strategy in nuclear talks with the Trump administration. He was ...

France could help secure Hormuz only after bombing stops, says Macron

French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday said his country is ready to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, but only as part of a mission separate from the current Middle East war. "We are not a party to the conflict, and therefore France will never take part in operations to reopen or liberate the Strait of Hormuz," Macron said, responding to US President Donald Trump's call for European nations to send warships to the Persian Gulf. Speaking ahead of a security meeting at the Elysee presidential palace, he stressed any mission would require "discussions and de-escalation with Iran" and must be "entirely separate from the ongoing military operations and bombings".

Erased 2 names on the punch card, many more to follow: Netanyahu

Mocking again with a "I am alive" video, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened to continue to kill more Iranian leaders named on his "punch card". Earlier on Tuesday, Netanyahu claimedto have eliminated Iranian leader Ali Larijani, the Secretary of the country's Supreme National Security Council and Basij force CommanderGholamreza Soleimani. There was no word from the Iranian government on the fate of the two senior officers. Larijani had effectively evolved as the in-charge of Iran's war management following the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei by Israel on February 28 in the opening strike of the war, which is now in its eighteenth day. Continuing with his series of videos debunking rumours of his death, the Israeli Prime Minister posted yet another one on the social media platform X from his personal account while meeting US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. Huckabee, in the video, tells Netanyahu that the US President Donald Trump has asked him to "
