How divided is the Republican party over US attacking Iran?

1 week ago | channel4.com | Kiran Moodley

President Trump has said he will make his decision as to whether to join Israel in attacking Iran within the next two weeks. The White House claims that there is a “substantial chance at negotiations” to ensure peace, hence Trump’s delay. But could he be dithering because his party is divided? For many of Trump’s most ardent cheerleaders the prospect of America getting involved in another foreign war is a betrayal of one of Mr Trump’s central election promises.
Israel-Iran: how 46 years of proxy war led to this conflict

1 week ago | channel4.com | Kiran Moodley

The war between Israel and Iran has been building for decades and now it’s spiralling out of control – but how did we get to this point? The new phase of this conflict began on June 13 with a huge wave of Israeli strikes on Iran, dealing damaging blows to Iran’s nuclear weapons program, and taking out key scientific and military personnel. Iran’s response has been to fire missile and drone barrages, with some Israeli leaders speaking openly about regime change in Tehran.

A warning: this report contains distressing scenes from the start. First, a mayday call from the cockpit of Air India flight 171, just moments after take off. Then a total loss of communication with air traffic control. Seconds later the plane had plunged down onto a built up area just outside the Ahmedabad airport perimeter. 169 Indian nationals and 53 Britons were on board, making this one of the worst air disasters involving UK nationals since 9/11.

A curfew has been declared in downtown Los Angeles, as immigration protests continue for a fifth day. LA police said they arrested almost 200 people on Tuesday as they defied the curfew, despite the presence of federalised National Guard and the possibility of 700 US Marines joining them on the streets. Meanwhile protests have spread to other American cities, with President Donald Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom escalating their feud over the response to the demonstrations.
Trump claims LA ‘under siege’ and defends sending in troops

2 weeks ago | channel4.com | Kiran Moodley

Hundreds of US Marines have arrived in Los Angeles after another night of sporadic protests over President Trump’s immigration raids. That’s on top of the 2000 National Guard troops, a number which the administration has said may double. It amounts to a significant and unusual escalation of domestic force. Mr Trump insisted the demonstrators were “paid insurrectionists”, and accused the California governor Gavin Newsom of “causing a lot of death”.
What now after the Trump Musk feud?

3 weeks ago | channel4.com | Kiran Moodley

What becomes of the broken-hearted? Their social media posts might look flippant – but with such enormous wealth and power, the feeds of Donald Trump and Elon Musk are rarely inconsequential. Or as one commentator put it – ‘I’m just so glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data’. So what consequences could there now be in Washington – and Silicon Valley? Reporter: Kiran MoodleyProducer: Matthew CundallPicture Editor: Manos Koutsavakis

Russia and China are the real reason for Trump’s Greenland obsession

3 weeks ago | channel4.com | Kiran Moodley

A battle for the Arctic was being quietly fought by three of the world’s largest powers – Russia, China and the United States – but then Donald Trump returned to power and couldn’t stop talking about Greenland. It’s a fight for trade, critical natural resources and military dominance with the prize of ultimately controlling one of the harshest but most strategically important regions in the world.
Orbán: Is MAGA hero and EU’s longest serving leader in trouble?

4 weeks ago | channel4.com | Kiran Moodley

“We will open several bottles of champagne if Trump is back,” said Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, last October. As the pro-Trump American conservative gathering CPAC starts in Budapest this week, there will be plenty of corks popping. Orbán is a hero for the populist right and the MAGA faithful. For them, his 15 years in power are a playbook for what America could and should be by the end of Trump’s second term. Yet are the good times coming to an end for Orbán?
As Trump and Putin posture, Europe tries to show some courage

“My whole life is like deals. One big deal. And if I thought that President Putin did not want to get this over with, I wouldn’t even be talking about it.”Donald Trump believes that there is room for manoeuvre following his two-hour phone call with Vladimir Putin regarding the war in Ukraine. He proudly announced the start of negotiations “toward a ceasefire” and even talked of having the Vatican City host the two leaders of Ukraine and Russia.
