Expanding the battlefield is Iran’s strategy to exhaust the immense firepower of America and Israel.

When Nicolás Maduro and his wife walked into their apartment deep in a Caracas military base, they had no way of knowing that their every movement was being tracked.

Iran broadened its retaliatory attacks on American targets in the Gulf region Monday and early Tuesday, as Trump and other top officials signalled that strikes could intensify and continue for weeks or more.

After three days of bombardment, the assault in Tehran seems to be only intensifying.

If the Iranian government unleashes more aggressive retaliation, the world will face a classic pathway to a downturn.

In December, Netanyahu asked for the US President’s approval for Israel to hit Iran’s missile sites. Two months later, he got something even better: a full partner in a war to topple the Iranian leadership.

Iran’s supreme leader may be dead, but there will be another. Its slain military commanders will be replaced.

Donald Trump should have gotten congressional approval for striking Iran, or he should not have struck at all.

The widening military conflict in the Persian Gulf quickly began to disrupt shipping in one of the world’s biggest oil-and-gas producing regions, threatening to send energy prices soaring.

The killing of El Mencho was a clear success for the Mexican authorities. The timing, however, seemed to be telling.
