Israeli attacks in Gaza have reportedly caused sensory shocks and behavioural relapses in autistic children, according to Al Jazeera. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has reiterated that the situation with Iran is “going fine” and that US forces are in “total control” of the Strait of Hormuz.
The White House’s handling of the Iran war has come under increased scrutiny, with Trump’s approval rating continuing to decline. A recent poll by The Economist/YouGov found only 33 percent of respondents approved of how Trump has managed the crisis. Concerns over the war’s impact on national security and economic stability have grown, especially as the midterms approach.
US naval forces are being stretched thin due to the ongoing conflict, with reports indicating that Trump’s aggressive stance against Iran is causing strain on the military. Some sources suggest that the administration is struggling to maintain operational readiness, with sailors facing harsh conditions.
There have also been reports of unusual security measures, including the secret transfer of Trump from Air Force One to a smaller military jet after receiving a credible threat linked to Iran. These actions highlight the heightened tensions and the administration’s efforts to manage the crisis.
