Jaishankar On Iranian Ships, US Allows India Russian Oil, Drone Hits Dubai Airport And More

Pressure is building inside the White House as advisers urge U.S. President Donald Trump to consider an exit strategy from the escalating conflict with Iran. Officials fear a prolonged war could trigger political backlash, rising fuel prices, and economic instability in the United States. Oil prices have already surged past $100 a barrel, raising concerns among voters and policymakers. While some advisers suggest declaring the campaign a success and withdrawing, Trump continues to warn of further strikes if Iran threatens global oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. As tensions persist, Washington faces a critical question: how to end the war before the costs grow higher.
