A U.S. Navy fast-attack submarine on Tuesday sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean using a single torpedo, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters Wednesday, saying this was the first time since World War II that an American submarine has sunk an enemy vessel.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Israel and the United States pounded Iran on Monday in a campaign that U.S. President Donald Trump said would likely take several weeks. Tehran and its allies hit back against Israel, Gulf states and targets critical to the world’s energy production.

The intensity of the attacks, the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the lack of any apparent exit plan set the stage for a prolonged conflict with far-reaching consequences. Safe havens in the Mideast like Dubai have seen incoming fire; hundreds of thousands of airline passengers are stranded around the globe; oil prices shot up; and U.S. allies pledged to help stop Iranian missiles and drones.

With no sign of the conflict abating anytime soon, Trump said operations are likely to last four to five weeks but that he was prepared “to go far longer than that.”

A November 2011 video has resurfaced of Donald Trump accusing then-President Barack Obama of wanting to start a war with Iran.

Trump stated in the video that Obama had "absolutely no ability to negotiate" and would initiate a war with Iran.

Election-year legislation to impose strict new proof-of-citizenship requirements on voting appears stalled in the Senate, for now, despite President Donald Trump’s call in his State of the Union speech that Republicans in Congress pass the bill “before anything else.” 

Trump’s push for the bill, backed by House conservatives and his most loyal supporters ahead of the midterm elections, has put new pressure on Senate Majority Leader John Thune as he tries to navigate an effort from inside and outside Congress to bypass normal Senate procedure. Thune has said he supports the legislation and that his GOP conference is still discussing how to pass it

Gallup will no longer track presidential approval ratings after more than eight decades doing so, the public opinion polling agency confirmed to The Hill on Wednesday.

The company said starting this year it would stop publishing approval and favorability ratings of individual political figures, saying in a statement it “reflects an evolution in how Gallup focuses its public research and thought leadership.”

‘Why not?:' White House says Trump floats naming Penn Station, Dulles airport after himself

President Donald Trump’s racist social media post featuring former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, as primates in a jungle was deleted after a backlash from both Republicans and Democrats who criticized the video as offensive.

The Republican president’s Thursday night post was deleted Friday and blamed on a staffer after widespread backlash, from civil rights leaders to veteran Republican senators, for its treatment of the nation’s first Black president and first lady. The deletion, a rare admission of a misstep by the White House, came hours after press secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed “fake outrage” over the post. After calls for its removal for being racist -- including by Republicans -- the White House said a staffer had posted the video erroneously and it had been taken down.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he has no problem with the sharp decline in the dollar that’s been triggered by convulsions in global bond markets and growing skepticism about the U.S.’s reliability as a trading partner.

“I think it’s great,” Trump told reporters in Iowa when asked about the currency’s decline. “Look at the business we’re doing. The dollar’s doing great.”

Trump has long maintained that a weaker currency helps industries that he’s seeking to boost — particularly manufacturers, but also oil and gas. And U.S. corporations that export goods and services abroad typically report stronger earnings when they can convert foreign payments into a weaker greenback.

A $1.8 billion loan guarantee to an Arizona utility to deploy clean energy are among the projects the Energy Department has canceled following a review of loans made during former President Joe Biden’s administration, according to the department.

The conditional loan guarantee to Arizona Public Service Company, a subsidiary of Pinnacle West Capital Corp., was granted by the Biden administration in early January 2025, but never finalized. The financing to the utility, the largest in Arizona, was earmarked for the deployment of renewable energy sources, electric transmission lines and the construction of a battery energy storage project tied to an existing solar site, according to the Energy Department. The utility didn’t immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

The project was among some $30 billion in financing, made through the Energy Department’s Loan Programs Office, that was canceled following a Trump administration review of Biden-era deals.
