Vice President JD Vance's marathon negotiations with Iranian officials in Islamabad failed to produce a deal, prompting President Donald Trump to order a Strait of Hormuz blockade.
Michael Leiter, the Israeli ambassador to the U.S., said Sunday that there could be a “potential” for “continued talks” with Iran about the U.S.-Israeli conflict against the country after Vice President Vance said no progress was made in the direction of a peace agreement in recent negotiations. “When you said the talks are still going...
Lawmakers are set to return to Washington this week as questions over future pay for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees — including Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers — loom over efforts to end the partial shutdown.

Just ninety minutes before the deadline expired, the Iranians were given a reprieve. This is the third time the […]
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is increasingly strained from within. The alliance was built on a simple premise: that its members share core security interests and act collectively when those interests are threatened. Its effectiveness depends on sustained alignment — and Turkey is putting it to the test. NATO was formed in 1949, when its […]
President Donald Trump’s frustration with NATO has reached a new peak. The latest rift within the alliance stems from the European response to the U.S. operation in Iran.
