Trump’s Iran stance wins Colorado’s hardest-hit voters who say higher gas is a price to pay

In Wiggins, Colorado, rising fuel and grocery costs have locals feeling the squeeze—gas is about $4.34 a gallon and spending now cuts into home budgets. Yet many voters in nearby Morgan County, long Republican territory, back President Donald Trump’s Iran approach, arguing they’d rather endure economic pain than risk Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Trump admits Iran ceasefire came as a favor to Pakistan, then hints US may resume action

US President Donald Trump said the US-Iran ceasefire, meant to open diplomacy toward ending hostilities in West Asia, was agreed “as a favour to Pakistan” because the country has mediated talks between Washington and Tehran. Trump also credited broader international pressure for influencing the pause. While he dismissed needing any “favours” from Xi Jinping over the Strait of Hormuz, he suggested China could still pressure Iran. Trump warned the US may carry out “cleanup work” after the month-long truce amid internal doubts about Pakistan’s messaging.

Trump backs Chinese students in US despite right wing backlash and visa crackdown fears

Trump threatens to run out of patience with Iran after Xi talks and fresh ship incidents near Hormuz

After talks with China’s Xi Jinping, Donald Trump said his patience with Iran is running out, as the U.S. paused attacks but imposed a port blockade.

The Strait of Hormuz remains effectively constrained after Iran responded to U.S.-Israeli strikes. Meanwhile, incidents near the UAE raised fears of escalating maritime control, affecting global energy flows.

US House Rejects Iran War Powers Clampdown by One Vote, Leaving Trump’s Campaign Untouched for Now

The U.S. House of Representatives narrowly defeated a Democratic-led resolution to halt President Donald Trump’s Iran war campaign unless Congress authorizes hostilities. The measure failed on a 212-212 tie, making it the closest possible outcome and the third House attempt this year. Democrats argue the Constitution reserves war-making authority for Congress, while Republicans and the White House defend Trump’s commander-in-chief powers. The Senate has also blocked similar efforts as votes have grown tighter.
