Trump Iran conflict US Iran war Strait of Hormuz Putin Iran talks Tehran explosions Israel airstrikes Iran Iran missile sites Bahrain emergency sirens UAE missile defense BAPCO refinery attack Iranian
President Donald Trump signals that the Iran conflict could be nearing its end, while simultaneously weighing America’s control over the critical Strait of Hormuz. Ahead of an international press briefing, Trump reportedly urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to push for a rapid settlement, signaling high-stakes diplomacy at a global level. Meanwhile, Russia remains firmly in support of Iran, backing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, even as explosions continue to shake Tehran and other Gulf regions. Israel has intensified strikes targeting missile launch sites and rocket engine facilities in central Iran, while Iran retaliates with strikes across Gulf nations. Bahrain has been forced to sound emergency sirens and move citizens into safe shelters after Iranian attacks on its BAPCO refinery caused major disruptions. WATCH

Oil markets are reeling after a dramatic surge in crude prices following rising geopolitical tensions in West Asia. US President Donald Trump has defended the spike in global energy costs, calling it a temporary sacrifice in the broader push to dismantle Iran’s nuclear capability and safeguard long-term global security. As crude prices surge to levels not seen since 2022, global markets are feeling the pressure. U.S. oil futures have crossed the $108 per barrel mark while Brent Crude Oil has jumped sharply, reflecting investor fears of deeper supply disruptions across the Gulf region. Despite the economic turbulence, Trump insists the short-term pain is necessary if it leads to a nuclear-free Iran and long-term stability in the region. Critics, however, warn that sustained energy price spikes could weigh heavily on global growth, consumer spending and already fragile supply chains. WATCH

Tensions in the West Asia have surged dramatically after Iran launched a fresh wave of missile strikes toward Israel, shortly after Mojtaba Khamenei was appointed as the country’s new supreme leader. Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB confirmed that the first wave of missiles was launched under Mojtaba’s leadership, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing Iran-Israel confrontation. While military developments unfolded across the region, unrest was also reported inside Iran. Videos from Tehran captured protesters chanting anti-Mojtaba slogans, with women’s voices clearly heard rejecting the leadership transition. Demonstrations broke out in parts of the capital even as religious chants echoed in the background. WATCH

U.S. President Donald Trump has sharply dismissed warnings from Iranian security chief Ali Larijani, saying he “could not care less” about the threats and insisting the Iranian leadership is already defeated. The strong remarks come as tensions between Washington, Tehran and Tel Aviv continue to spiral following the joint U.S.-Israel military strikes launched on February 28, which triggered one of the most serious confrontations in West Asia in years. Trump also signaled that the military campaign against Iran will continue, reiterating his demand for “unconditional surrender” from Tehran. WATCH
