Iranian hackers have breached the personal email account of FBI Director Kash Patel, according to a statement confirmed by FBI spokesperson Ben Williamson. The hackers reportedly accessed and released photos and information dating from 2011 to 2022, including personal, business, and travel-related materials. Williamson stated that the FBI has taken all necessary steps to mitigate potential risks and confirmed that no government information was compromised.

The cyberattack has been attributed to a group known as the Handala Hack Team, which claimed responsibility for the breach. The group said Patel would now find his own name among the list of hacking victims. Earlier this month, the same group allegedly carried out a cyberattack that disrupted operations at a major U.S. medical equipment manufacturer.

The incident underscores ongoing cybersecurity threats targeting high-profile U.S. officials and institutions, though the FBI emphasized that the breach involved only personal data and posed no direct threat to government systems.

US President Donald Trump expressed anger toward NATO for not standing by the United States a month after the start of the Iran war. Speaking at an investment forum in Miami, Florida, Trump said that since NATO countries did not help the US against Iran, America might no longer need to stand by its allies. He questioned why the US should continue supporting partners who did not reciprocate during the conflict.

The United States, along with Israel, decided to launch attacks on Iran late last month without consulting European allies. Many NATO leaders opposed the strikes. According to a source, the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier is expected to be deployed near the conflict zone, though it remains unclear whether it will join or replace existing US carriers in the area. Additionally, more than a thousand troops are being deployed.

The remarks highlight growing tension between Washington and NATO members over military cooperation and strategic alignment following the Iran conflict.

U.S. President Donald Trump has said he believes he is a 'messenger of peace' and wants to be remembered that way. According to a report by the Associated Press published on Saturday, Trump made the remarks when journalists asked how he would like his legacy to be viewed. He responded that he wished to be remembered as a great messenger of peace.

Trump further stated that he truly believes he is a messenger of peace, even though it may not seem that way at the moment. His comments reflect his personal view of his role and how he wants history to record his presidency.

The report did not include additional context or reactions to his statement, focusing solely on his remarks about his desired legacy.

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the war with Iran is not yet over, announcing that 3,554 Iranian targets remain to be struck. He said the remaining attacks would be carried out quickly and claimed that Iran, once a strong nation, is no longer powerful. Trump added that Iran has never experienced anything like the current situation.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the United States can achieve its objectives without deploying ground troops and suggested that the conflict could end within weeks. The remarks were reported by CNN and come amid ongoing military operations involving U.S. strikes on Iranian targets.

The statements highlight Washington’s continued offensive posture toward Iran and suggest that further military actions are imminent as the U.S. seeks to conclude its campaign.

US President Donald Trump stated that the ongoing war with Iran is not yet over, speaking at the FII Summit in Miami, Florida. He emphasized that the conflict must be brought to an end but clarified that it has not reached that point yet. His remarks were reported by CNN.

Previously, Trump had repeatedly claimed victory over Iran, including in a White House speech earlier in the week where he said the United States had already won and blamed 'fake news' for suggesting otherwise. However, his latest comments indicate that US military operations against Iran are still being planned.

Trump mentioned that 3,554 Iranian targets remain on the US strike list and asserted that these would be completed 'very quickly.' He also claimed that Iran is no longer as powerful as it once was, describing the country as facing unprecedented challenges.

A clear generational divide has surfaced among US conservatives over President Donald Trump’s decision to attack Iran, as revealed at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) held near Dallas, Texas. Younger conservatives expressed disappointment and a sense of betrayal, arguing that Trump’s military action contradicted his earlier promises to avoid foreign interventions. Several young attendees voiced concern about the possible deployment of US troops to the Middle East, with some saying the move undermines the 'America First' principle.

Older conservatives, however, largely defended Trump’s decision, describing it as a pragmatic response to Iranian threats. Veterans and senior participants said the action was not the start of a new war but a justified reaction to Iran’s long-standing activities. Prominent conservative figures also appeared divided, with commentator Tucker Carlson opposing the war and Homeland Security official Joe Kent resigning in protest, citing moral objections.

CPAC chairman Matt Schlapp acknowledged the internal split but noted that many conservatives still trust Trump despite growing unease. Some younger supporters warned that the movement risks fragmentation if unity cannot be restored.

The Pentagon is reportedly considering sending an additional 10,000 troops to the Middle East for operations related to Iran, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal published on Friday. The move aims to provide former President Donald Trump with more military options in the region. Approval of the deployment would also bring more explosives and armored vehicles to the area. The new troops would join 5,000 Marines and paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division already en route to the region.

Earlier, Trump warned Iran that failure to meet US demands—such as reopening the Strait of Hormuz and halting its nuclear program—would turn the country into its “worst nightmare.” He also mentioned taking control of Iran’s oil resources. In response, an Iranian official said Tehran would activate Yemen’s Houthi rebels to attack ships in the Red Sea if Washington launched a ground invasion.

The Wall Street Journal noted that the exact deployment locations remain unclear, though the forces are expected to be near Iran’s mainland and the Kharg Island oil export hub.

U.S. President Donald Trump appears increasingly eager to end the ongoing conflict with Iran, describing his goal as to “gradually end the war.” However, his strategy remains unclear as he alternates between signaling military escalation and diplomatic outreach. On Tuesday, the Pentagon ordered troop deployments to the Gulf region while U.S. mediators presented a new 15-point peace proposal to Tehran. The following day, the White House urged Iran to accept the plan, warning of severe attacks if it refused. Iran rejected the proposal, deepening uncertainty over whether genuine negotiations are underway.

Inside the administration, former officials and close allies expressed growing unease, saying Trump lacks a coherent plan for what comes next. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt insisted the president is ready to strike hard, while Republican lawmakers voiced concern over sending ground troops. The peace plan reportedly demanded Iran abandon its nuclear program, limit missile development, and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran dismissed these terms, asserting control over the war’s course.

The conflict has disrupted global oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz and driven energy prices higher. Analysts warn that without clear strategy or allied support, Washington’s ability to secure the region remains uncertain.

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Iran must take the initiative to persuade him to stop the ongoing war. Speaking on Thursday, Trump said the matter now depends on Iran’s leaders and that he is not interested in reaching any deal at this stage. Iranian state media, however, reported that Tehran’s leadership remains doubtful about Washington’s sincerity in pursuing negotiations.

At the start of a cabinet meeting, Trump criticized media reports suggesting he was seeking a diplomatic solution. He emphasized that Iran is the party trying to return to talks and added that whether a proper deal can be made depends on Tehran. Trump described Iranian leaders as skilled negotiators but weak fighters, asserting that it is Iran’s responsibility to come to the negotiating table to end the conflict.

Trump also warned that U.S. attacks on Iran would continue without restraint while waiting to see if Tehran chooses to engage in talks.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) announced on Wednesday that it will increase prices by up to 8 percent for several retail and commercial services, citing higher transportation costs caused by rising global fuel prices linked to the Iran war. The new rates, pending approval from the Postal Regulatory Commission, will take effect on April 26 and remain in place until January 17, 2027. The price hike will apply to Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, and Parcel Select services.

USPS stated that transportation expenses have risen and that competitors have also imposed various surcharges. Earlier, delivery company UPS introduced a fuel surcharge on March 2, while FedEx continues to adjust its fuel surcharges based on gasoline prices in the United States. According to the motor club AAA, the average price of regular gasoline in the US has increased by 33.6 percent since the war began on February 28, while diesel prices have risen by 43 percent. Jet fuel prices have also climbed significantly since the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran began.

The USPS adjustment reflects broader cost pressures across the logistics sector as energy markets react to the ongoing conflict.

US President Donald Trump has proposed peace talks with Iran while the Pentagon is considering deploying up to 10,000 additional troops to the Middle East. The Wall Street Journal reported the plan, citing officials familiar with Pentagon discussions. The potential deployment would include infantry forces and armored vehicles as part of expanded military options for Trump.

According to the report, Washington has already ordered about 5,000 Marines from the 82nd Airborne Division and around 2,000 paratroopers to the region. The new consideration would add another 10,000 troops to that force. The move reflects ongoing US military planning amid tensions involving Iran.

The report also noted that the proposal for peace talks and the possible troop increase are being discussed simultaneously, indicating a dual-track approach of diplomacy and military preparedness.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he has postponed a planned American strike on Iran’s energy facilities for ten days, following a request from Tehran. Speaking to Fox News, Trump said Iranian officials initially asked for a seven-day delay, but he decided to extend it to ten days, setting the new deadline for April 6. He stated that Iran made the request through his representatives and expressed gratitude for the extension.

Trump explained that the postponement came after Iran sought more time to act on unspecified matters, warning that if they failed to do so, the United States would disable their power plants. He added that Iran had provided ships to the U.S., which influenced his decision to grant additional time.

Earlier, Trump had given Iran 48 hours to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, later extending that deadline by five days before this latest ten-day delay. The developments mark a continued shift in the timeline of U.S. pressure on Iran over regional maritime and energy issues.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that ongoing discussions with Iran are progressing through message exchanges facilitated by intermediary countries. Speaking to reporters, he confirmed that some progress had been made but emphasized that the process remains ongoing and evolving, and would not be discussed publicly.

Rubio also commented on the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, noting that maritime traffic there is gradually increasing. He stated that while fuel transport has not fully returned to previous levels, some shipments have resumed. Rubio added that if Iran stops threatening global navigation, the strait could reopen completely as soon as tomorrow.

Highlighting the importance of adherence to international law, Rubio urged countries concerned about global legal norms to take appropriate action in response to the situation.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he is uncertain whether the United States is truly interested in reaching a deal with Iran. Speaking about Iran, he remarked that Iranians are not good fighters but are skilled negotiators. Trump also asserted that it is Iran, not him, that is requesting a deal.

According to his statements, Trump had given Iran 48 hours last Saturday to open the Strait of Hormuz. He later claimed on Monday that discussions between the two countries had taken place and announced a five-day suspension of planned U.S. strikes on Iranian energy facilities.

The developments come amid reports that Saudi Arabia has urged the United States to continue its attacks on Iran, while both nations are expected to enter new talks soon.

The US Department of Defense is preparing to send an additional 3,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East to intensify ongoing military operations against Iran. The move comes as thousands of US Marines are already advancing toward Iran for special missions, though officials have not confirmed any final decision to enter Iranian territory. Military analysts view this deployment as a major escalation in the Iran-Israel conflict and a possible signal of direct US involvement.

According to US Central Command, since February 28, air and missile strikes have destroyed more than 9,000 Iranian military targets, including missile launch sites, naval facilities, and defense infrastructure. The US currently has about 50,000 troops stationed in the region, and the new deployment suggests Washington may seek control over the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, global oil prices have surged after Iran blocked access to the vital waterway, which handles about one-fifth of the world’s oil supply.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows only 35 percent of Americans support the military campaign, while 61 percent oppose it, reflecting growing domestic discontent as President Donald Trump claims peace talks are underway—an assertion Tehran has denied.
