Several senior figures in President Donald Trump’s inner circle who once urged caution about military action against Iran are now publicly backing the administration’s campaign as the conflict intensifies. Among those who previously voiced concerns were Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Both had earlier signaled hesitation about deeper U.S. involvement in another Middle East conflict, reflecting divisions within Trump’s political coalition between interventionists and those aligned with the “America First” movement that favors avoiding foreign wars. However, as military operations expanded, both officials have largely aligned themselves with the administration’s strategy. Vance has emphasized that…

Trump Signals Shifting Strategy on Ending Iran War as U.S. Military Continues Targeted Strikes
U.S. President Donald Trump has adjusted his messaging about how the war with Iran could end, even as the U.S. military continues a sweeping campaign targeting Iranian military infrastructure.

The White House says the central objective of the operation—carried out with support from Israel is to dismantle Iran’s military power. That includes destroying ballistic missile systems, crippling…

The rise in unemployment from the previous month indicates that more Americans are actively seeking work but are struggling…
The ongoing military conflict between the United States and Iran is expected to cost an enormous amount each day, with analysts estimating that the war could cost close to $1 billion per day depending on the intensity of operations. Early estimates from defense analysts show that the first 100 hours of the conflict cost about $3.7 billion, largely due to the extensive use of advanced weapons systems, stealth bombers, missiles, and naval operations. That figure translates to roughly $900 million per day during the initial phase of the campaign. The military campaign—reportedly involving air strikes, carrier strike groups, drones, cruise…
Kristi Noem, once a close ally of Donald Trump and a central figure in his immigration agenda, was removed as U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security after a series of controversies that strained her relationship with the president and lawmakers.
