TEHRAN, April 13, 2026 – A tenuous two-week ceasefire has shattered, plunging the Persian Gulf into a direct naval confrontation. The US Navy, under direct orders from President Donald Trump, has begun enforcing a full naval blockade of all Iranian ports, a high-stakes gamble that global oil markets are already punishing with an immediate price shock. Iran, in an equally defiant response, has issued an ultimatum of its own, declaring that any aggression against its ports will render “no port in the Persian Gulf or the Sea of Oman safe,” and has vowed to maintain control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz indefinitely.
VATICAN, WASHINGTON – In the annals of modern geopolitics, few confrontations have been as symbolically charged, as theologically fraught, and as politically explosive as the one currently unfolding between the White House and the Vatican. When President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Sunday night to unleash a 334-word tirade against Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pontiff in the history of the Catholic Church, he did more than simply vent his displeasure at a religious leader who had dared to criticise his foreign policy.
