    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    WASHINGTON, Sept 18 (Reuters) - When President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations a year ago, he touted the US bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites just months earlier as "totally obliterating everything" and said he had brought peace between Israel and Iran. Returning to the world body on Tuesday, Trump will face a deeply skeptical audience increasingly rattled by six months of war between US forces and an emboldened Iran, growing regional instability and a nuclear threat that has not disappe

    Analysis-Trump's Iran campaign echoes the post-9/11 'forever wars' (opens the original)

    WASHINGTON, Sept 10 (Reuters) - When Donald Trump campaigned for a second term in the White House, he promised to be a “president of peace” who would stop foreign wars, not start them. Now, a quarter-century after the September 11, 2001, attacks that triggered America’s global “war on terror,” he is entangled in an unpopular conflict of his own making that analysts say risks becoming his version of a “forever war."

    WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explored all possible paths to curb Iran's nuclear program in their meeting, including diplomacy, economic pressure and force, a senior Israeli official said on Wednesday. Netanyahu did not tell Trump that Israel's preference now was for further attacks on Iran, the official said in briefings with reporters after the two men met in the White House on Tuesday. "In the end, it's his decision,"

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    WASHINGTON, July 16 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump has ramped up U.S. air strikes on Iran and threatened broader escalation, but there is little sign that a military strategy that has already failed to extract concessions from Tehran will succeed this time.
