Trump Warns of Fresh Iran Attacks If Peace Talks in Pakistan Fail

President Donald Trump says the U.S. will resume strikes on Iran at a higher level if peace talks in Pakistan collapse, claiming ships are being loaded with the best weapons yet. The White House has not immediately responded, while Vice President JD Vance leads talks with Iran’s side to try to seal a ceasefire before the deadline. The rhetoric comes alongside concerns about potential military action and related effects on energy markets.

Barron Trump’s Yerba Mate Startup Edges Toward Launch Amid Donor Ties

Barron Trump’s Yerba Mate Startup Edges Toward Launch Amid Donor Ties

Barron Trump, 20, is listed as a director of Sollos Yerba Mate Inc., a Florida start‑up making pineapple- and coconut-flavored yerba mate drinks, with a May 2026 launch now planned. The company’s registration and a Palm Beach connection tie Barron to donor Jay Weitzman (whose grandson Spencer Bernstein also serves as a director), though Weitzman denies involvement. Critics warn the arrangement could raise ethics concerns given the president’s family ties, and Barron also has ties to the Trump crypto venture World Liberty Financial. Sollos promotes a South Florida lifestyle image, while some in the yerba mate community react skeptically to the family connections.

Vance Turns Iran Talks Into Skydiving Analogy Amid War-Talk Backlash

Vice President JD Vance invoked his wife Usha’s “right to skydive” as a surreal analogy to defend the Trump administration’s Iran talks, arguing the U.S. should focus on what Iran actually does rather than what it claims to have a right to do as negotiations over nuclear enrichment unfold amid a fragile ceasefire and Trump’s hard-line posture. The piece notes Iran’s 10‑point peace plan preserving enrichment rights, Trump’s claim of no enrichment, and Vance’s broader diplomacy alongside Hungary’s Orbán amid White House scrutiny of war enthusiasm.

Retired Admiral Mocks Trump’s Iran Toll Booth Plan

A retired U.S. Navy four-star admiral, James Stavridis, mockingly dubbed Donald Trump’s idea to partner with Iran on tolls for the Strait of Hormuz the “Aya Toll Booth,” sharing a spoof movie poster and warning such a plan would be illegal and impractical. The White House has since walked back the floated scheme, saying reopening the strait should be done without tolls and that no official discussion on the venture is ongoing.

Trump Flings Greenland Threat Again as NATO Braces for Iran War Fallout

Donald Trump revived his Greenland grab threat and floated pulling the U.S. from NATO after allies declined to intervene in the Iran war, a gambit quickly tempered by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte who persuaded him to back down and focus on a future Greenland deal; the White House also signaled possible punishments for reluctant allies and even troop withdrawals as tensions over NATO’s role and Western response to Iran persist.
