Trump Predicts Iran Deal Signed by Sunday
President Trump has said a peace agreement with Iran could be finalised by Sunday, with the Strait of Hormuz reopening to shipping shortly after. The announcement follows roughly 40 similar predictions made during the conflict, each of which did not result in a signed deal. Global shipping operators and oil markets remain in a holding pattern, as the strait's closure continues to disrupt energy supply chains. Iranian civilians remain under a US port blockade in the interim.
"During the conflict, the US president has claimed about 40 times that a deal was on the point of completion, only to then revert to threatening Iran with new attacks."

Germany and Japan expand military spending after decades of restraint
Both Germany and Japan are increasing defence budgets and broadening their military capabilities, roughly 80 years after the end of World War II. Each country had maintained strict postwar limits on armed forces, shaped by constitutional constraints and public sentiment. The shift is driven by concerns over Russian aggression in Europe and Chinese assertiveness in the Pacific. Neighbours and treaty allies are watching the changes closely.
"Eighty years after the war ended, the two nations most defined by military defeat are rebuilding the capacity to fight."
