Trump Hosts Iraqi Prime Minister At White House

President Donald Trump welcomed Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi to the White House as the two leaders looked to strengthen relations between the United States and Iraq. Trump praised the relationship between the two countries and said he and al-Zaidi shared strong chemistry during their meeting. The talks focused on expanding economic cooperation, increasing energy partnerships and supporting Iraq’s efforts to disarm Iran-backed militias. Iraqi officials also said an oil pipeline agreement involving U.S. and Qatari companies is expected to be announced later this week. The meeting comes as Washington seeks to deepen ties with Baghdad amid continued instability across the Middle East.

Iranian Port Blockade Resumes As U.S.-Iran Conflict Escalates

Fighting between the United States and Iran intensified Wednesday as the U.S. reimposed its naval blockade on Iranian ports and launched another wave of strikes, prompting fresh threats from Tehran over energy exports and shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The renewed hostilities come after President Donald Trump ordered the blockade restored, saying it is aimed at preventing Iranian attacks on commercial shipping and pressuring Tehran back to the negotiating table. Iranian officials responded by warning they could halt additional Middle East energy exports if the blockade continues. The escalating conflict has further undermined hopes of reviving a temporary agreement that had been intended to reduce tensions and restore normal shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important energy corridors.

Former Prime Minister: "Trump Was RIGHT About Iran" | The Erin Molan Show

Episode 196 (Part 1) Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison joins Erin Molan for a wide-ranging discussion about China’s expanding influence, the future of Taiwan, President Trump’s foreign policy and the growing threat posed by Iran. Morrison explains the real message behind China’s latest ballistic-missile test and warns that Beijing advances “piece by piece,” gradually making the unusual appear normal. He argues that Western governments must confront this strategy before China establishes dominance across the Indo-Pacific. The former prime minister also discusses his relationship with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Trump’s approach to Xi Jinping, America’s support for Taiwan and why sustained pressure is the only language Iran’s regime understands.

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Sunny Hostin ERUPT on The View… She Gets SMOKED! | The Erin Molan Show

The Erin Molan Show | Episode 195 (Part 2) The World Cup, Justin Trudeau, Marco Rubio, illegal immigration, Christian persecution in Nigeria, Iran’s threats against Donald Trump, Cenk Uygur, Marjorie Taylor Greene — and the selective outrage that continues to define modern politics. In this episode, I explain why the World Cup has unexpectedly become an IQ test for some political commentators, why Justin Trudeau’s latest viral moment perfectly captures the difference between looking ridiculous and actually being weak when it matters, and why Marco Rubio’s response to one horrific immigration case deserves far more attention. I also look at the devastating reports of Christians being killed by Islamic extremists in Nigeria, why Western leaders must finally be willing to name the ideology behind these atrocities, and why silence from many of the loudest “human rights” activists is impossible to ignore. And finally, another alleged Iranian plot against President Trump exposes the absurdity of dismissing Israeli intelligence, while Cenk Uygur, Marjorie Taylor Greene and the growing obsession with blaming Israel for everything show just how detached political discourse has become.
