My "American Week" for @lbc.co.uk's Friday drivetime programme. This week: Bondi walks the plank, Trump stumbles again over Iran, threatens to exit NATO, and Americans thrill over Artemis II. 🎧: audioboom.com/posts/888304...

As usual this afternoon.....

Mine for @theipaper.com inews.co.uk/news/world/t...

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a visually impaired Rohingya refugee, was found dead days after being dropped off in a parking lot by Border Patrol in February. His death has now been ruled a homicide, prompting calls for an investigation into the circumstances.

From 4pm on @lbc.co.uk 4pm - What sacrifices are you ready to make as the war on Iran rages? 5pm - Is economic pain in Europe part of Trump's grand plan? 6pm - Are the police right to blame parents / guardians for anti social behavior? Ph: 0345 6060 973 Text: 84850 "Alexa, send a comment to LBC"

But of course….

❗️US officials told CBS two more MQ-9 Reaper drones were lost near Isfahan, bringing total losses to 16 since the US-Israel war on Iran began. #Iran

Spot on.

Trump now appears to be on course to green-light America's withdrawal from NATO....possibly even tonight. My natter earlier today with @mrjamesob.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk 🎧: audioboom.com/posts/888166...

Ah.

Huge development, indicating limitless effort to rig November’s midterms. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

Worth making the point that Trump will have been fully aware of the timing of the UK’s announcement today confirming the King’s visit. His posting an hour earlier eviscerating the bilateral relationship was a deliberate flex. No coincidence at all.

A staggering moment.

“The special relationship in action”.

Published today by the Consular Section of the US Embassy in London. "The special relationship in action".

FT with a major scoop tonight…

If in threatening to blow up Iran's “desalinization plants” Trump meant desalination plants, this would be a war crime.

My latest for @theipaper.com inews.co.uk/news/world/t...

So if he does all this….the King will still be coming??

Ah.

The Strait of trump hegseth is behaving like an 'extremist theocrat' @simonmarksfsn.bsky.social joined Matt Frei on @lbc.co.uk this morning #war #iran #uspoli #farright #maga youtu.be/dZA6NwE726g

Iran launches strike on US forces in Saudi as Trump projects invincibility. Mine with Matt Frei on LBC audioboom.com/posts/888003...

www.ft.com/content/4f09... Genuinely hard to overstate how much of a strategic defeat it would be for the United States if the war ends with effective Iranian control of the Strait.

My "American Week" for @tomswarbrick.bsky.social's programme on the UK's @lbc.co.uk. This week: Trump blows hot-and-cold over Iran peace talks as his military escalation continues, and America's tech giants finally get their "Big Tobacco" style comeuppance. 🎧: audioboom.com/posts/887983...

While you ready yourself for "American Week", here's my chat this morning for @mrjamesob.bsky.social on the UK's @lbc.co.uk Today: Does even Trump know what Trump is going to do next in Iran? 🎧: audioboom.com/posts/887979...

New rule: if the first adjective you use in a Greg Bovino profile is "pugnacious", then I won't be reading past it. (The NYTimes at it again, naturally....)

Coincidence, I’ve been expecting your call….

🚨 New announcement from Trump on the Iran war. He extends the bombing threat pause again, from tomorrow to April 6.

Can 100% confirm that "in Trump time, a day, that's an eternity".

Trump is no longer sure he is “willing” to strike an agreement with Iran. My latest from the roller coaster, for Tom Swarbrick’s drivetime programme on LBC. 🎧: audioboom.com/posts/887926...

In an endless, made-for-TV Trump "Cabinet meeting", it's becoming increasingly clear that the world should brace for an extended military conflict in the Middle East.

Trump claims Iran is "afraid to say" they want to make a deal, as his approval ratings crater. My latest live update from Washington, for The Claire Byrne Show on Ireland’s Newstalk: 🎧: audioboom.com/posts/887913...

"A former US president once observed that 'if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog'. Trump has decided instead to acquire the services of a former plumber and Mixed Martial Arts fighter rolled into one." Mine on Markwayne Mullin, new DHS chief, for @theipaper.com inews.co.uk/news/world/n...

Iranians reject US peace plan, as Trump takes steps for possible ground war. My live update for “Tonight with Andrew Marr” on the UK’s LBC. 🎧: audioboom.com/posts/887891...

Absolutely spot on. Bizarre that this conversation even has to occur.

Republicans on Capitol Hill appear to think a ground war is imminent. And are not happy about it. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

"For a regime which the US and Israel claim is being bombed back to the Stone Age, the surviving elements of Iran’s leadership certainly have a good line in patter." My latest dispatch for @theipaper.com 🗞️: inews.co.uk/news/world/t...

What fresh hell is this?
