Khamenei Accuses Trump of Stoking Deadly Unrest in Iran

A demonstrator holds the burning head of an effigy depicting US President Donald Trump during a protest against the US. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has intensified his criticism of the United States, directly accusing President Donald Trump of encouraging the wave of protests that has shaken the country. The demonstrations, which began as economic grievances, quickly expanded into broader political unrest and were met with a forceful response from Iranian security forces. Khamenei framed the turmoil as part of a foreign-backed effort to destabilize the Islamic Republic, arguing that Washington — and Trump personally — sought to inflame tensions and undermine Iran’s stability. Trump had publicly expressed support for the protesters and warned Iran against harsh reprisals, comments that Tehran dismissed as interference.

Trump Assembles High‑Profile Gaza Oversight Board Including Erdogan, Blair, Rubio, and Kushner

                                          Trump's Gaza peace plan will move into the second phase.


A newly announced “Board of Peace” tasked with overseeing Gaza’s temporary governance has drawn global attention after the White House revealed a roster that includes Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Jared Kushner, according to reporting on the plan.

The board is part of President Donald Trump’s broader post‑war strategy for Gaza, which aims to guide reconstruction and political stabilization following a fragile ceasefire. The initiative places Trump himself as chair, with the board expected to coordinate diplomacy, security arrangements, and economic development.

Blair’s inclusion marks a return to Middle East diplomacy for the former British leader, while Kushner—who played a central role in Trump’s earlier regional initiatives—continues to be positioned as a key figure in the administration’s approach. Rubio’s role reflects the administration’s desire to keep senior U.S. officials directly involved in the process.

The addition of Erdoğan signals an effort to incorporate regional influence into the board’s work, though it may also introduce geopolitical complexity given Turkey’s longstanding positions on Gaza and Israel.

The White House has described the board as a coalition of leaders with experience in diplomacy, infrastructure, and economic strategy. Critics, however, have questioned whether the group’s political diversity will lead to effective cooperation or heightened tensions.

As Gaza remains in ruins after years of conflict, the board’s decisions—and its ability to function cohesively—will play a significant role in shaping the territory’s next chapter.
