"Clearly, we look close and every day on the situation. It has a direct impact on store opening and store performance because there's not many tourists or less tourists shopping." - Daniel Grieder, CEO of Hugo Boss.
I'm not putting troops anywhere. If I were, I certainly wouldn't tell you. But I'm not putting troops. We will do whatever is necessary. A White House official stated: There has been no decision to send ground troops at this time, but President Trump wisely keeps all options at his disposal.
The Trump administration is seeking a whopping $200 billion supplement for the U.S. and Israel's war on Iran, asking for Congress to shell out taxpayer money for a historically unpopular war that is already causing major price hikes that will only worsen as the war goes on.
May almighty God continue to bless our troops in this fight. And again, to the American people, please pray for them every day on bended knee with your family, in your schools, in your churches, in the name of Jesus Christ. To the troops, keep going and Godspeed.
Joe Kent, President Trump's former top counter-terrorism official, is under investigation by the FBI's Criminal Division for allegedly improperly sharing classified information. The investigation began months before Kent's recent resignation, according to four individuals with direct knowledge of the probe who spoke to Semafor.
The Iranian military's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for the U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Tehran has sent energy markets into turmoil. A quarter of the world's natural gas, a fifth of its crude oil, and tons of critical materials for fertilizers and other petroleum products pass through this strategic Persian Gulf waterway.
The Trump administration purged the State Department of its oil and gas experts last year, prior to launching its war on Iran, including people who would be responsible for examining scenarios related to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a new report says as the gas prices spike.
I wonder what would happen if we 'finished off' what's left of the Iranian Terror State, and let the countries that use it, we don't, be responsible for the so called 'Strait?' That would get some of our non-responsive 'Allies' in gear, and fast!!! President DJT.
Migrant demand to reach the UK unlawfully continues to be high, and the conflict in Iran is likely to exacerbate this challenge. Migration crises typically follow conflicts, as people flee violence and instability. While he doesn't anticipate an absolutely massive increase from Iran, the conflict could lead more individuals to attempt the dangerous Channel crossing in small boats.
Nearly half of the world's traded urea—the most widely used fertiliser—and large volumes of other fertilisers are exported from Gulf countries via the Strait of Hormuz, making global agriculture highly exposed to any disruption there. Recent disruptions to gas supplies and shipping have already forced fertiliser plants, which use natural gas to manufacture fertiliser, in the Gulf and beyond to shut or cut their output.
In the long run, it's going to help us out, because if they get nuclear weapons, you know, we might not even be here in a couple of years. I think that [Trump's] done a good job. This sentiment reflects the perspective of voters willing to accept economic costs for perceived security benefits from military action against Iran.
The Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts said on Saturday that at least 56 museums, historical monuments and cultural sites in Iran have been damaged over the course of the war, which began on February 28, state-run news media reported. The heritage sites damaged include the Qajar-era Golestan Palace in Tehran.
Cybercrime has skyrocketed since the start of the Iran war, according to Akamai, which reports a 245 percent increase in everything from credential harvesting attempts to automated reconnaissance traffic aimed at banks and other critical businesses.
According to AAA, the average regular gas price as of March 16 is $3.72 per gallon-up $0.24 from a week ago, and nearly $0.79 from this time last year. CNN reports that the 26.9 percent gain in US gas prices over the past month is the largest monthly increase since Hurricane Katrina.
A key reason so many young people in the 1960s threw themselves into the fight against US military involvement in Vietnam was that the civil rights movement had recently demonstrated the power of mass action. As Students for a Democratic Society's founding manifesto in 1962 put it, 'the Southern struggle against racial bigotry...compelled most of us from silence to activism.'
It's a very transactional presidency, and our job is to navigate this, to always remember that the friendship between the United States and the United Kingdom runs very deep. It's a good relationship. It's enduring, and I think it will outlast all the personalities involved.
We should try to find the off-ramp. Iran could demolish oil and gas infrastructure across the Middle East, but more alarmingly, it could start targeting desalination plants, which provide water to much of the region, and could lead to an even larger humanitarian crisis.
