Oil Tankers Make Dash Toward Hormuz as Iran Says Strait Is Open​



At least eight oil tankers raced toward the Strait of Hormuz in the hours after Iran’s foreign minister declared the vital waterway was fully open to shipping in defiance of the US blockade.

Five of the carriers, which had been anchored north of Dubai, were moving into the waterway on Friday afternoon, soon after Iran’s foreign minister declared it completely open, vessel tracking data compiled by Bloomberg show. Three more, which were waiting about 70 miles west, have also begun moving in the direction of the strait.

GOP strategists called to DC as Trump team confronts rising midterm headwinds​

​


With the six-month mark until Election Day 2026 closing fast, Donald Trump’s top political advisers are meeting behind closed doors Monday with dozens of leading Republican political consultants from across the country for a strategy session as the party defends its razor-thin House and slim Senate majorities in the midterms.

The party in power in the nation’s capital faces traditional political headwinds and is expected to lose congressional seats.

Republicans are battling a challenging political climate fueled by persistent inflation, rising gas prices tied to what polls show is an unpopular war with Iran, and the president’s underwater approval ratings.

The odds of a Democratic sweep of both chambers are 50%.
 

Trump’s quagmire: Defeat on battlefield and in war narrative, as Western skepticism grows​




Recent opinion polls and media coverage across the United States and Europe indicate that the war against Iran has failed to consolidate Washington’s preferred narrative, instead fueling growing public distrust toward US claims about security, democracy, and the legitimacy of military intervention.

A detailed report by Reuters noted that seven weeks into the conflict, the United States has not achieved its stated objectives.

More significantly, the war has exposed a key vulnerability for Donald Trump: mounting domestic economic pressure.

While Trump has downplayed the economic fallout in public remarks, rising global energy prices, linked in part to disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz, have placed a tangible burden on American consumers.

The report also cited warnings from the International Monetary Fund about the risk of a global recession, suggesting that the ongoing conflict is darkening economic prospects and raising the political costs for the White House.

Polling data reinforces this trend. A Quinnipiac University survey found that 53% of American voters oppose military action against Iran.

Additionally, 65% blame Trump for recent energy price increases, while 64% consider his rhetoric on Iran unacceptable.

Earlier surveys by YouGov and the Pew Research Center reveal a consistent and growing opposition since the early weeks of the war, with majorities viewing military action as misguided and expressing dissatisfaction with the administration’s handling of the crisis.

Analysts point out that this opposition is not merely political but tied to everyday concerns.

Rising fuel prices, fears of escalation, and the prospect of US ground troop deployment have heightened public anxiety.

According to Ipsos, only 24% of Americans believe the war has been worth its costs, while 66% favor a swift US withdrawal even if objectives remain unmet.

In Europe, public sentiment mirrors this skepticism.

In the United Kingdom, a majority opposes the war and questions its justification, citing concerns over living costs and energy prices.

Similar patterns are evident across Western countries, with large majorities in Spain, France, and Canada rejecting the military campaign.

This shift is also reflected among European policymakers.

Several governments have declined to participate in the conflict, emphasizing diplomacy instead.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that Berlin would not join a war lacking United Nations, EU, or NATO backing, while officials acknowledged the economic toll of the crisis.

Think tanks such as Carnegie and the European Council on Foreign Relations have also questioned the war’s legality and strategic coherence, warning that it undermines international norms.

Observers say the war has triggered a broader crisis of credibility for Washington.

Rather than reinforcing Western unity, it has exposed internal divisions and raised doubts about the ability of the US to shape a dominant global narrative.

Analysts in Europe believe the divide has gone beyond the Tehran–Washington confrontation and extended into the Western camp itself.

From this perspective, the US narrative about the necessity and legitimacy of the war is facing growing skepticism and distrust—not only among the American public, but also among the societies and political elites of its Western allies.
