Draft Proposal Initiated
Iran begins drafting a new nuclear proposal following preliminary talks.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi alleged that a week of military operations under the Trump administration has cost the U.S. military $100 billion. The claim underscores the massive fiscal and regulatory pressures placed on the Department of Defense during rapid-response geopolitical escalations.
The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down the executive branch's use of emergency laws to impose broad tariffs, forcing a pivot to a new 15% global tariff framework. Simultaneously, the U.S. is engaging in high-stakes diplomacy with Iran in Geneva, backed by a massive military buildup, to secure a new nuclear agreement.
