But a recent Haaretz analysis overlooks a key variable: Iran is not merely capable of absorbing pressure; it can also shift the cost of that pressure onto the other side.2026-08-28T16:08:52+03:30news/341847/Chess-and-Poker-Against-a-Blockade-Equation-Washington-Has-Failed-to-CalculateThe UAE’s Footprint in the Strait of Hormuznews/341704/The-UAE’s-Footprint-in-the-Strait-of-HormuzAn informed Emirati official told Nournews that Trump’s August 17 threat against Oman came after a phone call with Mohammed bin Zayed—a narrative that, alongside the Manama meeting and a Wall Street Journal report, sheds light on Abu Dhabi’s efforts to expand its influence over the Strait of Hormuz and pressure Oman.2026-08-27T22:30:18+03:30news/341704/The-UAE’s-Footprint-in-the-Strait-of-HormuzWashington’s Pardon: Beginning of a Deal or an Admission of Defeat?news/341504/Washington’s-Pardon-Beginning-of-a-Deal-or-an-Admission-of-DefeatNOURNEWS – The removal of Syria and Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) from the US terrorism lists, rather than being a humanitarian gesture, can be viewed as part of Washington’s geopolitical strategy to contain the fallout from the war, secure energy routes, support Israel’s occupation, and restore allies’ confidence in the United States.2026-08-27T09:44:59+03:30news/341504/Washington’s-Pardon-Beginning-of-a-Deal-or-an-Admission-of-DefeatWhy Did Multimillion-Dollar Missiles Reach the End of the Line?news/341370/Why-Did-Multimillion-Dollar-Missiles-Reach-the-End-of-the-LineA new report by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has exposed a serious crisis in the U.S. military’s weapons and air-defense missile stockpiles. The war with Iran was not merely a test of America’s firepower; it also laid bare a critical weakness in one of the Pentagon’s key pillars: the depth of its weapons reserves and its ability to rapidly replenish advanced missiles and interceptors.2026-08-26T17:15:08+03:30news/341370/Why-Did-Multimillion-Dollar-Missiles-Reach-the-End-of-the-LineHow Did the Iran Shock Reach the Heart of America’s Political Economy?news/341362/How-Did-the-Iran-Shock-Reach-the-Heart-of-America’s-Political-Economy‌ A Financial Times report on the crisis facing U.S. farmers points to something far more significant than rising fuel and fertilizer prices. The shock from the Iran war has moved beyond energy markets and reached production costs, food prices and Americans’ purchasing power — where the economy becomes inseparable from politics and the ballot box.2026-08-26T16:40:02+03:30news/341362/How-Did-the-Iran-Shock-Reach-the-Heart-of-America’s-Political-EconomyIran details temporary Hormuz arrangement with Oman; vows reopening tied to fulfillment of demandsnews/341280/Iran-details-temporary-Hormuz-arrangement-with-Oman;-vows-reopening-tied-to-fulfillment-of-demandsIran’s deputy foreign minister for legal and international affairs details a temporary arrangement between the Islamic Republic and Oman concerning the Strait of Hormuz, while asserting that reopening of the waterway hinges on realization of Tehran’s demands.2026-08-26T09:29:06+03:30news/341280/Iran-details-temporary-Hormuz-arrangement-with-Oman;-vows-reopening-tied-to-fulfillment-of-demandsFront pages of Iran's English dailies on August 26news/341269/Front-pages-of-Iran's-English-dailies-on-August-262026-08-26T08:53:02+03:30news/341269/Front-pages-of-Iran's-English-dailies-on-August-26Trump’s Fiscal Policies and the US Debt Time Bombnews/341274/Trump’s-Fiscal-Policies-and-the-US-Debt-Time-BombNOURNEWS – The $9.29 trillion in US Treasury securities held by foreign investors exposes Washington’s financial vulnerability and raises the global and market costs of Trump’s sanctions and trade policies.2026-08-25T20:10:43+03:30news/341274/Trump’s-Fiscal-Policies-and-the-US-Debt-Time-Bomb‌How Trump Became Trapped in a War with Irannews/341081/‌How-Trump-Became-Trapped-in-a-War-with-IranAccording to a report by The Wall Street Journal, senior US military and intelligence officials had warned Donald Trump about the serious consequences of an attack on Iran before the war began. But a war that was expected to end quickly has now turned into a crisis for the Trump administration.2026-08-25T12:12:26+03:30news/341081/‌How-Trump-Became-Trapped-in-a-War-with-Iran'Bullying won't work': Pezeshkian warns US as he meets Pakistan's army chiefnews/341013/'Bullying-won't-work'-Pezeshkian-warns-US-as-he-meets-Pakistan's-army-chiefIranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has stated that the United States must abandon its reliance on force and bullying, warning that such an approach will only complicate efforts to implement the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and resolve regional issues.2026-08-25T05:34:57+03:30news/341013/'Bullying-won't-work'-Pezeshkian-warns-US-as-he-meets-Pakistan's-army-chiefDid Europe Come to Celebrate Independence or Extend the War in Ukraine?news/341012/Did-Europe-Come-to-Celebrate-Independence-or-Extend-the-War-in-UkraineNOURNEWS – Europe headed to Kyiv on the anniversary of Ukraine’s independence with promises of support and billions of euros in aid; but the continuation of the war, security and economic dependence, and the determination of the conflict’s course from abroad paint a different picture of “independence” in Ukraine.2026-08-25T05:30:36+03:30news/341012/Did-Europe-Come-to-Celebrate-Independence-or-Extend-the-War-in-UkraineEconomic War Against Iran: A Project to Rescue Bessent’s Record?news/340934/Economic-War-Against-Iran-A-Project-to-Rescue-Bessent’s-RecordNOURNEWS – The escalation in Scott Bessent’s anti-Iran rhetoric can be viewed as part of Trump’s maximum-pressure campaign. But the mass departure of senior Treasury officials and mounting pressure in the US debt market raise another question: Has Iran become a showcase for the Treasury secretary to project power and compensate for his domestic shortcomings?2026-08-24T17:00:43+03:30news/340934/Economic-War-Against-Iran-A-Project-to-Rescue-Bessent’s-RecordUS Oil Reserves Hit a Half-Century Low; Washington Escalates Financial War Against Irannews/340899/US-Oil-Reserves-Hit-a-Half-Century-Low;-Washington-Escalates-Financial-War-Against-IranThe threat of the “largest financial attack in history” against Iran does not place only Tehran under pressure. The US is entering an intensified economic war at a time when its oil reserves have fallen to roughly 41 days of coverage, the Strait of Hormuz remains turbulent, and inflation, diesel prices, debt and the bond market are also testing Washington’s resilience.2026-08-24T15:04:34+03:30news/340899/US-Oil-Reserves-Hit-a-Half-Century-Low;-Washington-Escalates-Financial-War-Against-IranIran’s Soft Power Through the Eyes of an Anti-Zionist Jewnews/340882/Iran’s-Soft-Power-Through-the-Eyes-of-an-Anti-Zionist-JewNOURNEWS – In a world where, according to Alon Mizrahi, the great powers are suffering from a crisis of meaning, there is one exception: Iran. The significance of this narrative lies not simply in its praise of Iran, but in the fact that its author — a Jewish, Arab-descended, former Israeli and anti-Zionist writer — sees Iran as a bearer of “light” and dignity.2026-08-24T14:23:10+03:30news/340882/Iran’s-Soft-Power-Through-the-Eyes-of-an-Anti-Zionist-JewIran to detain, confiscate violating ships in Strait of Hormuz: PGSAnews/340798/Iran-to-detain,-confiscate-violating-ships-in-Strait-of-Hormuz-PGSAThe Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA), Iran’s regulatory body for the Strait of Hormuz, has announced that vessels violating Iranian protocols for the strategic waterway will face restrictions on future passages, including fines, detention, or confiscation.2026-08-24T10:20:33+03:30news/340798/Iran-to-detain,-confiscate-violating-ships-in-Strait-of-Hormuz-PGSAFront pages of Iran's English dailies on August 24news/340767/Front-pages-of-Iran's-English-dailies-on-August-242026-08-24T08:24:15+03:30news/340767/Front-pages-of-Iran's-English-dailies-on-August-24Who Is Netanyahu’s New Adversary: Ankara or an Internal Crisis?news/340642/Who-Is-Netanyahu’s-New-Adversary-Ankara-or-an-Internal-CrisisNOURNEWS – The latest tensions between Israel and Turkey over Syria are, on the one hand, a pretext for Tel Aviv to continue its occupation and, on the other, a test of the credibility of regional alliances and the need to establish indigenous and independent security arrangements.2026-08-23T15:19:53+03:30news/340642/Who-Is-Netanyahu’s-New-Adversary-Ankara-or-an-Internal-CrisisIran to neutralize economic pressure, keep Hormuz closed until US fulfils commitments: Security chiefnews/340521/Iran-to-neutralize-economic-pressure,-keep-Hormuz-closed-until-US-fulfils-commitments-Security-chiefIran’s security chief says the Islamic Republic will neutralize the United States’ economic pressure, including by responding to countries that join an American “economic war” against the country.2026-08-23T07:44:16+03:30news/340521/Iran-to-neutralize-economic-pressure,-keep-Hormuz-closed-until-US-fulfils-commitments-Security-chiefDeadlock on Battlefield, Divisions in Washington: What Does US Army Secretary’s Possible Departure Signal?news/340520/Deadlock-on-Battlefield,-Divisions-in-Washington-What-Does-US-Army-Secretary’s-Possible-Departure-SignalNOURNEWS – The imminent departure of Dan Driscoll, US secretary of the Army, following months of tensions with Pete Hegseth, is more than just a change at the Pentagon. His close ties to JD Vance, coupled with the departure of Caroline Leavitt from the White House, point to growing friction within the most sensitive layers of US power.2026-08-23T07:39:09+03:30news/340520/Deadlock-on-Battlefield,-Divisions-in-Washington-What-Does-US-Army-Secretary’s-Possible-Departure-SignalFrom Ground Beef to Treasury Bonds: Is US Resilience Nearing Its Breaking Point?news/340431/From-Ground-Beef-to-Treasury-Bonds-Is-US-Resilience-Nearing-Its-Breaking-PointNOURNEWS – Ray Dalio’s latest comments about reducing exposure to US bonds and turning towards gold and Bitcoin go beyond investment advice.

Months later, however, one of his administration’s most pressing problems has become far more down-to-earth: how to bring down the price of ground beef for American families.2026-08-22T00:38:05+03:30news/340254/From-Hormuz-to-Hamburgers-Trump’s-Iran-War-Runs-Into-a-Ground-Beef-CrisisBehind the Fall of Trump’s Spokeswoman: Five Days of Investigation and One Main Suspectnews/340165/Behind-the-Fall-of-Trump’s-Spokeswoman-Five-Days-of-Investigation-and-One-Main-SuspectNOURNEWS – A new report from Washington casts doubt on the official account of Karoline Leavitt’s departure: Trump’s spokeswoman was identified as the main suspect in a confidential investigation into leaks about US weapons shortages and the damage caused by the war with Iran. But before she could be humiliatingly dismissed, she resigned herself, and it is said that she delivered a final blow to Trump by leaking the story about the cargo plane.2026-08-21T16:24:39+03:30news/340165/Behind-the-Fall-of-Trump’s-Spokeswoman-Five-Days-of-Investigation-and-One-Main-SuspectChina rejects US call to sever economic ties with Iran, says sanctions will not resolve warnews/340163/China-rejects-US-call-to-sever-economic-ties-with-Iran,-says-sanctions-will-not-resolve-warBeijing has rejected Washington’s latest demand that countries join a renewed campaign of economic sanctions against Iran, reaffirming that the escalating crisis requires political dialogue.2026-08-21T16:21:56+03:30news/340163/China-rejects-US-call-to-sever-economic-ties-with-Iran,-says-sanctions-will-not-resolve-warAn Emergency Exit Plan from a Full-Scale Siegenews/340121/An-Emergency-Exit-Plan-from-a-Full-Scale-SiegeNOURNEWS – Trump’s economic war is a test of our “resolve” and “collective wisdom.” The adversary seeks to use external pressure to push Iran to the brink of domestic crises. Victory in this campaign requires an “unwritten agreement” between the authorities and the people: the authorities must guarantee justice and protect livelihoods so that the people can preserve their historic patience and resilience in the face of foreign pressure.2026-08-21T14:35:21+03:30news/340121/An-Emergency-Exit-Plan-from-a-Full-Scale-SiegeIran finalizes preferential trade agreement with Omannews/340097/Iran-finalizes-preferential-trade-agreement-with-OmanIran has finalized a preferential trade agreement with Oman aimed at strengthening economic ties, with the deal now sent to parliament for final review after completing administrative procedures, a senior official at Iran's Trade Promotion Organization said.2026-08-21T11:22:14+03:30news/340097/Iran-finalizes-preferential-trade-agreement-with-OmanIran condemns new US sanctions as ‘economic terrorism’ and ‘crimes against humanity’news/340094/Iran-condemns-new-US-sanctions-as-‘economic-terrorism’-and-‘crimes-against-humanity’Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strongly condemned the new economic sanctions imposed by the United States against Iran, describing the action as an instance of “economic terrorism” and “crimes against humanity.”2026-08-21T11:15:55+03:30news/340094/Iran-condemns-new-US-sanctions-as-‘economic-terrorism’-and-‘crimes-against-humanity’Narrative About Hormuz Under Market Pressure: What Does $94 Oil Tell Us?news/340006/Narrative-About-Hormuz-Under-Market-Pressure-What-Does-$94-Oil-Tell-UsNOURNEWS – For several days, Western media outlets have highlighted limited tanker traffic through the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz and spoken of the return of oil flows. But the creation of a special route under US military protection, higher shipping costs and $94 oil indicate that Hormuz has yet to return to normal conditions.2026-08-20T22:20:32+03:30news/340006/Narrative-About-Hormuz-Under-Market-Pressure-What-Does-$94-Oil-Tell-Us
