🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 — NEW: The US could remain locked in the Iran war through the end of Trump’s term in January 2029, according to Bloomberg.

White House advisers, including JD Vance and Marco Rubio, have reportedly warned Trump that the conflict could become prolonged, with no near-term ceasefire or full restoration of Middle East energy transit in sight.

Iran says it intends to continue fighting despite the economic cost, while rebuilding its missile capabilities and preparing stronger strikes on US targets and Gulf states.

The conflict is also widening regionally, with Brent around $105 per barrel, Hormuz transit still disrupted, and the Houthis expanding operations in the Red Sea and against Saudi infrastructure.

🇷🇺❌🇺🇦— Shopping malls and major retail stores are reportedly closing in Ukraine as Russian strikes intensify.

Affected businesses reportedly include Yuzhny Bug, Silpo, Jysk, Sinsay and Foxtrot, with the closures attributed to growing security risks from continued attacks.

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ — Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says that the conditions Russia has set for it to be possible to end the special military operation have not changed.

It is necessary to eliminate the root causes of the conflict.
