Iran War

Iran is threatening recreational and tourist sites worldwide and insisting it is still building missiles three weeks into an escalating war in the Middle East. The United States is deploying more warships and another 2,500 Marines to the region. However President Donald Trump said on social media that his administration in fact was considering “winding down” military operations. The mixed messages came after another climb in oil prices plunged the U.S. stock market. The Trump administration also said it will lift sanctions on Iranian oil loaded on ships, a move intended to wrangle soaring fuel prices. The war, meanwhile, has shown no signs of abating. Iran launched more attacks on Israel and energy sites in neighboring Gulf Arab states after Israel pounded Tehran.
