As soon as Operation Epic Fury began to move dials in Wall Street in the wrong direction, and the prospect of international inflation, stagnation, energy market mega-turbulence registered with the idiot king Donald J Trump, who is the shame of the US and Americans, the brakes were slammed on. The war that Pete Hegseth, self-styled US Secretary for War, championed was dialled down from a projected length of four to six weeks to an operation that could end in days. Trump’s curious refusal to rule out US boots on the ground vanished in a flurry of negative market and economic signals. The very first day of Epic Fury, the all-powerful US military fired a barrage of super-sophisticated Tomahawk missiles at Minab in southeastern Iran, one of which hit a primary school, killing a reported 160 girls and staff. Video footage of the American atrocity was proudly uploaded to international media. Then Trump became aware of the child carnage, and promptly did what he always does in any such difficulty: he lied. He immediately claimed that the Iranians had butchered those children in an accidental misfiring of their own ordnance. Follow

According to a report by the New York Post, Ali Khamenei allegedly stated in his will that he did not want his son Mojtaba Khamenei to succeed him as Iran’s Supreme Leader. The report claims Khamenei had doubts about Mojtaba’s leadership ability and experience. Khosro Isfahani, from the U.S.-based opposition group National Union for Democracy in Iran, said the late leader had explicitly asked in his will that Mojtaba not be named as successor. Isfahani also claimed that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps pressured the Assembly of Experts and pushed Mojtaba into the leadership role. These claims remain unverified, and Iranian authorities have not publicly confirmed the details of the reported will. The situation continues to draw attention as leadership questions in Iran remain a major geopolitical focus.

President Donald Trump has doubled down on his aggressive military stance toward Iran, signaling that U.S. operations are far from over despite earlier claims that the campaign was progressing quickly. Speaking about the ongoing conflict, Trump said U.S. forces and their allies are continuing strikes aimed at weakening Iran’s military capabilities. He has previously described the operation as “ahead of schedule,” claiming significant damage has already been inflicted on Iranian naval, missile, and drone systems. At the same time, the president warned that military operations are not finished, indicating that the aerial campaign could continue as the U.S. works to eliminate remaining threats. The conflict—often referred to as Operation Epic Fury—has already led to escalating tensions across the Middle East, with missile exchanges, strikes on infrastructure, and growing concerns about regional stability and global energy markets. Analysts say the coming weeks could prove critical as military pressure continues and diplomatic options remain uncertain. #Headlines360 #TrumpNews #IranConflict #MilitaryAction #WorldNews

Photographers are no longer permitted to take photos inside the Pentagon briefing room after several outlets published “unflattering” photos of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. According to Wednesday’s report, aides to Hegseth told colleagues after the briefing that they were unhappy with how the secretary appeared in photos published by numerous media outlets worldwide under global licensing agreements.

President Donald Trump has reportedly expressed growing frustration over the length of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, telling senior military advisers that he is “getting tired” of the prolonged war with Iran. Despite recent Pentagon statements that U.S. forces have been “unleashed” to carry out operations against Iranian targets, the President is said to be questioning why a decisive outcome has not yet been achieved. The situation has become increasingly complex as the conflict spreads across the region. Reports indicate that U.S. and allied strikes have targeted key Iranian infrastructure, while Iran has responded with missile attacks against regional targets and energy facilities, raising fears of wider escalation. At the same time, global markets are reacting sharply. Concerns over disruptions to energy supplies — particularly around the Strait of Hormuz — have triggered major volatility in oil prices and heightened fears of a broader economic crisis. International leaders are now calling for restraint as diplomatic pressure grows to prevent further escalation. Analysts warn that the gap between expectations of a quick resolution and the reality of a prolonged regional conflict could shape global politics and energy markets in the months ahead. #WorldNews #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #GlobalEconomy #USPolitics
