US President Donald Trump has announced sweeping secondary sanctions targeting nations buying Iranian oil or petrochemicals. Any business dealing with Iran’s energy sector now risks losing access to US markets. The move escalates pressure amid faltering nuclear talks and rising tensions in the Middle East. Trump’s administration accuses Tehran of fueling regional conflict and violating past nuclear accords. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has also warned of military consequences. Talks have stalled after three rounds, while Iran insists it won’t be coerced into an unfair deal.

The Trump administration has pledged to spend another 100 days to secure a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. US Vice President J.D. Vance confirmed the push, noting both sides are finally talking. Despite earlier ceasefires, tensions remain over disputed regions and NATO demands. Trump’s envoy claims Kyiv is softening its stance, but Ukraine continues to resist territorial concessions. As diplomacy inches forward, Moscow demands an end to mobilization and foreign arms support. Washington’s patience may be running thin if no breakthrough emerges from this crucial diplomatic window.
