The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday decisively rejected an impeachment resolution introduced by Rep.

The backlash stems from a DNC response to Trump’s remarks about the fragile Iran-Israel ceasefire, during which he criticized both sides for renewed attacks.
Shipping costs surged across the Middle East in June, with rates from Shanghai to the UAE’s Port of Khor Fakkan jumping 76% due to fears over Iran-Israel tensions.

U.S. intelligence assessments indicate that Iran did not move its nuclear materials prior to the recent airstrikes ordered by President Trump, contradicting earlier reports suggesting otherwise.
