Iranian state television quickly reframed Saturday's strikes as a "response" to what it said was a strike on Iran's Natanz nuclear enrichment complex earlier in the day, marking a stark new phase of tit-for-tat targeting in the ...

After the Senate failed to find a resolution at a rare weekend session, Trump...

The act "would force Americans to register (to vote) only in...

Not included was the goal of securing the Strait of Hormuz, which Trump said should be the responsibility of other nations that are more dependent on oil exports from the Gulf. The president has frequently noted that the US is a net exporter of energy and does not rely on oil from the Middle East - although such a view glosses over the global nature of the fossil fuel market, where price fluctuations directly impact the price at American gas pumps. Trump's Truth Social post also made no call...

Comedian Bill Maher on Friday outlined his list of ways that he thinks the U.S. "f -- ed up" its strategy in attacking Iran. "You know where we f -- ed up? A few places," he told guests Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) and Democratic strategist Paul Begala on his HBO show "Real Time." "One, we're blowing up each other's oil now. They didn't foresee the Strait of Hormuz stuff well enough."

On Friday evening, as he headed to Florida, Mr. Trump seemed to be designing that much-discussed exit. But he clearly has not yet decided whether to take it. And there is mounting evidence -- average gas price approaching $4 a gallon, infrastructure in ruins across the Persian Gulf, a decimated Iranian theocracy digging in and American allies at first rebuffing and now struggling with demands to patrol hostile waters -- that the repercussions of Mr. Trump's excursion may outlast his interest...

Ukraine launched nearly 300 drones at Russia overnight -- in one of its largest barrages since the start of the four-year-old war. The drones struck an oil depot in Saratov in the southwest of Russia that's processes nearly 5 million tons of oil annually, Ukraine's Armed Forces said. "The defense forces of Ukraine will continue to hit important enemy facilities until the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine is completely stopped," it said on Telegram.

Former FBI director Robert Mueller dies at 81 after a distinguished career in law enforcement and military service. WASHINGTON - Former FBI Director Robert Mueller was considered a hero to many, including the Marines under his command in combat in Vietnam and the FBI agents working for him after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. And ultimately, in a career-defining move, Mueller became a hero to those working the politically-charged criminal investigation by the Justice Department into ...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday urged a judge to dissolve the injunction that keeps the Trump administration from detaining Kilmar Abrego Garcia again so he can quickly be deported to Liberia.

Along with posting condolences messages, Democrats were quick to call out the president's sharp remarks about...

In retaliation, Iran announced it was conducting targeted strikes against Israel's Dimona nuclear research facility on Saturday.
