Washington Signals Swift Timeline for Iran Operation

US official said that achievable objectives of Operation Epic Fury are expected to last about six weeks. The White House says it expects U.S. military objectives in Iran to be achieved within four to six weeks , emphasizing that Operation Epic Fury is progressing as planned. According to Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the campaign has already weakened Iran’s naval capabilities and sharply reduced missile attacks, putting the U.S. “well on its way” toward its strategic goals.  The operation, now in its second week, focuses on dismantling Iran’s ballistic missile infrastructure, degrading its navy, and limiting its pathway to nuclear weapons. Officials maintain that U.S. stockpiles and resources are sufficient to sustain the mission through its projected timeline.  As regional tensions escalate, Washington continues to frame the operation as both achievable and time‑bound, reinforcing its confidence in meeting objectives by early April.

Trump Initiates Tariff Investigation on Lumber Imports, Targeting Canada

 

In a move that could reshape the lumber trade landscape, U.S. President Donald Trump has directed the Commerce Department to launch a new investigation into lumber imports under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. This probe aims to assess whether imports, including those from Canada, pose a national security risk. The investigation could lead to additional tariffs on top of the existing 14.5% duties on Canadian softwood lumber.

The administration has also announced steps to boost domestic lumber production, including streamlining the permitting process for harvesting timber and salvaging fallen trees. White House officials argue that reliance on imported lumber undermines economic prosperity and national security, citing the U.S. military's significant use of lumber for construction.

This development adds another layer to the long-standing trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada over softwood lumber, with potential economic implications for both nations.
