U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited hopes for diplomatic progress with Iran this week, stating he believes Washington and Tehran 'can still make a deal work' despite escalating threats of regional conflict. The remarks follow a stark warning from Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that any U.S. military action would trigger 'fire across the Middle East'.
💡 Why it matters: With global energy markets already volatile, analysts say renewed U.S.-Iran tensions could destabilize the region further. Trump's unexpected optimism comes as 2026 election speculation heats up, raising questions about potential foreign policy shifts.
🌐 Global reaction: European leaders have urged restraint, while social media buzzes with memes comparing the situation to 'Game of Thrones-level drama'. Meanwhile, young activists worldwide are trending #NoWar2026, demanding climate action over military spending.
