FCC chair says news outlets that share ‘distortions’ about US war with Iran could lose their licences. The administration of President Donald Trump has warned that news outlets could have their broadcasting licences revoked over critical reporting on the war against Iran, accusing the media of “distortions”. “The base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not ‘struck’ or ‘destroyed’,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. Trump, however, has offered shifting rationales as to why he believes Iran posed an imminent threat to US security. He criticised the news outlet CNN, in particular, for a report asserting that the Trump administration had underestimated the chances of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz.

The Fed hasn’t confronted an oil shock this severe since the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, which triggered the notorious stagflation episode of that decade. Comparing the oil shocksAs the world’s largest oil-producing country, the United States is much less reliant on imported crude than it was during past energy crises. That inflicted significant pain on the US economy, which was heavily dependent on foreign oil at the time. Marty Lederhandler/APBut now, America is the world’s top oil producer and it has a services-based economy, meaning it’s less vulnerable to global oil production cuts. And Fed officials, learning from Burns’ missteps, now broadly believe that monetary policy does play an important role in managing economic shocks.

After two weeks of war against Iran, President Donald Trump may soon be ready to declare victory. At the time, Democrats said abandoning the pact would eventually lead to war with Iran, an accusation that Trump allies denied. Now that the war has started, however, the United States so far has proved unable to keep the waterway open. For now, the United States appears to be getting pulled more deeply into the fight because of the energy situation. Until then, the United States and its allies are being forced to take extraordinary measures to try to ease oil prices.

Sen. John Cornyn’s reversal on the Senate filibuster may or may not be sincere, but it is logical. Democrats tried to blow up the Senate filibuster during Joe Biden’s presidency. The Democrats’ 2022 escalation failed to destroy the Senate filibuster, but it weakened the mutual deterrence that the filibuster relies on. Last year, Trump set back Iran’s nuclear program with bunker-busting bombs in Operation Midnight Hammer. The best hope for avoiding a prolonged entanglement, then, is that Iran’s regime remains deterrable in the postwar period.
