The Israel-Lebanon conflict is fueling fresh debate inside Washington, with remarks from U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio raising questions about whether differences are emerging within the Trump administration over Israel's military campaign. While Rubio defended Israel's position during his Middle East tour, Vance publicly urged restraint and suggested Israel should value its strongest ally. Is this simply a policy disagreement, or could it shape the battle for the Republican Party's future ahead of the 2028 U.S. presidential election? Watch the full report for the latest developments and analysis.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio faced intense questioning during his first congressional testimony on the Iran war, defending President Donald Trump's handling of the conflict amid growing scrutiny in Washington. The hearing turned heated as lawmakers pressed Rubio on the administration's strategy, military actions, and prospects for diplomacy. Rubio sparked controversy with his blunt declaration that “no one is begging except for Iran,” reigniting debate over whether Tehran or Washington is under greater pressure to reach a peace deal. As tensions remain high, the remarks have triggered strong reactions from both supporters and critics. Will Rubio's bold defense strengthen the administration's position—or backfire politically?

U.S. President Donald Trump struck a hardline tone on Iran during a cabinet meeting, declaring that the U.S. would not accept a “weak deal” and insisting Tehran cannot be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. Trump also claimed oil and gasoline prices would “come down” once the Iran conflict situation stabilizes. He said the Strait of Hormuz would reopen under international oversight, rejected sanctions relief for Iran, and warned that military action remains an option if negotiations fail. Trump also pushed for more Middle Eastern nations to join the Abraham Accords as talks continue.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says “Operation Epic Fury” against Iran has officially concluded, while insisting America’s ongoing actions in the Strait of Hormuz remain “defensive in nature.” Rubio stated the U.S. would only respond if attacked first, amid rising tensions and recent clashes with Iran near the critical shipping route. He also confirmed that only two American-flagged merchant vessels have so far crossed the Strait under U.S. protection efforts.
