The White House has claimed a major military success against Iran, saying U.S. forces destroyed over 150 Iranian naval vessels during the conflict. At the same time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has clarified that Hezbollah and Lebanon were not part of the ceasefire agreement, highlighting key gaps in the deal. While Washington projects confidence, the situation remains complex, with multiple fronts still active and questions lingering over how stable the ceasefire really is.

White House: Trump's Red Line Have Not Changed

A shooting incident was reported near the White House in Washington, DC, &nbsp;early Sunday morning. The US Secret Service (SS) has initiated an investigation into the gunfire. The Secret Service was informed about the shooting that happened in the area of Lafayette Park. This portion of the park faces the White House and has been closed to the public for several weeks due to renovation work. While shots were heard, no signs of anyone being injured have been found. The Secret Service stated, “We searched the park and surrounding areas after midnight but found no injured individuals or suspects." Notably, President Donald Trump was at the White House when the shots were heard. Security in the area has been increased after the gunfire, as the probe goes on. White House is also functioning as usual, reports suggest.<h2>Trump's profanity-laced rant against Iran</h2>The incident is being investigated by the Secret Service in collaboration with Washington police and the US National Park Police. Trump spent the weekend at the White House, sending out warnings to Iran. He has warned that Iran should open the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday, 8 pm, or be ready for action. His previous cutoff was set for April 6. Trump wrote on Truth Social, "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!

Shots heard near White House while Trump was in the building, Secret Service initiates probe

US President Donald Trump’s proposed White House ballroom is facing legal challenges and mounting criticism over its design. A lawsuit by preservation groups alleges the project bypassed required review processes, with a court decision expected soon.

Architects and experts have also flagged major flaws in the design, including fake windows, blocked views and staircases that lead nowhere, raising concerns over functionality and impact on the historic site.

The project has sparked widespread backlash, with critics warning it could alter the character of the White House and calling for greater scrutiny.

White House: Trump Ballroom Plan Faces Legal Heat As Critics Flag Design Flaws | WION

Donald Trump's ballroom at the White House has major design flaws, including a grand staircase in front which serves no purpose in the area, while the true entrance is at the side of the building, and a flurry of columns that block the light inside the building. An architectural analysis of the blueprints carried out by the New York Times has revealed. Work has already started on the ballroom that will replace the East Wing, but a crucial approval vote is due on Thursday. The design proposals were earlier submitted to the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) and the Commission of Fine Arts. One of the major issues highlighted in the analysis is that the new construction blocks a "sightline" between the building and the US Capitol. Pierre L'Enfant had originally designed the view to represent the power balance between the President and Congress. Other issues include a grand staircase in front that leads nowhere, and several columns that will block the light inside the building.<h2>Karoline Leavitt lashes out at NYT analysis on White House ballroom</h2>White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reacted angrily to the NYT report on the ballroom on Sunday. She dismissed the opinions of three experts quoted in the report in a social media post.

The White House has rejected Elon Musk’s offer to pay Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers during the ongoing government shutdown, citing legal and ethical concerns.

Officials said federal rules bar private individuals from directly paying government employees, with compensation strictly governed by congressional appropriations.

The administration also flagged Musk’s existing government contracts as a potential conflict, adding that such an arrangement would pose significant legal challenges.

The decision comes as thousands of TSA workers continue to work without full pay amid the funding impasse, raising concerns over airport disruptions and staffing shortages.

USA: White House Snubs Musk Offer to Pay TSA Staff Over Ethics Rules | WION

The White House sparked a buzz on social media after posting two short cryptic videos on Wednesday night (Mar 25). The purpose or meaning behind the clips, which were posted on Instagram and X, was not clear as social media users tried to make sense of it. One video was later deleted from both handles. This comes amid the war with Iran, further fueling speculations about whether it had anything to do with the ongoing conflict in West Asia.&nbsp;The first video, which was deleted, was posted around 9:15 p.m. EST. It appeared that it was recorded using a smartphone with the camera pointing downwards. In the four-second-long clip, a woman’s feet can be seen, and a voice is heard saying, “It’s launching soon, right?” The video also had a caption reading: “sound on”. The video was deleted from both the Instagram and X accounts of the White House about 90 minutes after it was posted. Some social media users also claimed that the voice in the first video sounded like that of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

In the second video, which was posted at 10 p.m. EST, a black screen was seen with a static split-second visual and a notification chime was heard. An American flag could be seen in one frame. The post’s caption had a smartphone and sound emojis.

The White House has moved to contain the fallout following the resignation of Joe Kent, who stepped down as head of the National Counterterrorism Center over disagreements with the US military strikes on Iran. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified that Kent ‘was not involved in any discussions related to the Iran operation’, distancing him from key decision-making.&nbsp;According to a report by the New York Post, former deputy chief of staff Taylor Budowich alleged Kent had been linked to security leaks and conflicts within the chain of command, suggesting his exit may not have been voluntary. The White House has not confirmed these claims but acknowledged an internal effort to identify potential leaks. Kent announced his resignation on X, saying he could not support what he described as an unnecessary war, arguing Iran posed no imminent threat. He also claimed external pressure, including from Israeli officials and US media, influenced the conflict, assertions the administration rejected as false.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/-iran-was-not-rebuilding-nuclear-enrichment-after-2025-strikes-claims-us-intel-1773848980206">'Iran was not rebuilding nuclear enrichment after 2025 strikes', claims US intel</a>

Responding, Donald Trump said he viewed Kent as “weak on security” and called his departure positive. Republican Senator Tom Cotton praised the strikes as successful, while Democrat Mark Warner criticised the war as unnecessary and lacking a proper Congressional briefing. Questions are also emerging about intelligence assessments before the strikes, including warnings about potential Iranian retaliation and disruption to global oil routes like the Strait of Hormuz. With rising political scrutiny, Kent’s exit has intensified pressure on the administration to justify its Iran strategy.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/wion-world-pulse-countries-step-up-the-shift-to-clean-energy-1773848671736/embed">https://www.wionews.com/videos/wion-world-pulse-countries-step-up-the-shift-to-clean-energy-1773848671736/embed</a>&nbsp;Disclaimer: WION takes utmost care to accurately and responsibly report ongoing conflicts in West Asia involving Israel, Iran, the US, Gulf nations, and non-state actors like Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, Islamic State, and others.

Donald Trump might be fighting a war with Iran, but he is also apparently busy planning the next innovation he would like to bring to the White House. According to Rodney Mims Cook Jr, the head of the Commission of Fine Arts, the columns outside the presidential home might soon go away. He told the Washington Post that the Ionic columns at the main entrance of the White House will be replaced with those in the Corinthian style. These columns are more ornate, and the president loves them, Cook told the outlet. Corinthian columns also adorn two other most recognisable buildings in Washington - The Capitol and the Supreme Court. The columns belong to Greek architecture and are considered its most luxurious offering. In fact, several of Trump's own buildings also have the Corinthian columns. &nbsp;The current columns along the White House’s North Portico have been standing tall since 1830. The White House has not officially said anything about replacing the columns.&nbsp;&nbsp;Trump appointed Cook as the head of the Commission of Fine Arts in October 2025. The department is responsible for advising the president on design, style and aesthetics. "Corinthian is the highest order [of column], and that’s what our other two branches of government have," Cook said. He even expressed shock at the original decision of not having them in the first place. "Why the White House didn’t originally use them, at least on the north front, which is considered the front door, is beyond me," he said. But experts don't think the Corinthian is appropriate for a structure like the White House. Steven Semes, a professor emeritus of architecture at the University of Notre Dame and an expert in classical architecture, told WaPo, "The Corinthian would be inappropriate for the Executive Residence."Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/ballroom-construction-is-critical-for-security-concerns-white-house-tells-court-1765905834001">Ballroom construction is critical for security concerns: White House tells court</a><h2>Trump is building a grand ballroom at the White House</h2>He added that Ionic columns represent "the character of dignity, grace and a kind of intimacy or domesticity," and suit White House well since it is considered the "People's House". On the other hand, Corinthians are "used to express the height of formality and monumentality". Cook and others were appointed to the commission after all six previous members were fired. The White House said the new team was better suited to Trump's taste. The building is already undergoing major renovations as Trump is building a 90,000-square-foot ballroom. While the president said in July after signing an order that the addition would not affect the existing building, the entire two-story East Wing of the White House, built in 1902, has vanished.&nbsp;The National Trust for Historic Preservation has sued Trump over the ballroom, saying the required permissions and authorisations were not taken from Congress.

White House columns to go? Nearly 200-year-old structures could soon be chucked

President Donald Trump launched a sharp attack on major American news organisations, specifically targeting The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal for their coverage of the ongoing "Operation Epic Fury" in West Asia. Speaking from the White House, Trump accused these publications of using misleading headlines to undermine the US military strategy following recent strikes on Kharg Island in Iran.&nbsp;He claimed that the editorial tone of these legacy media institutions suggests they "want the US to lose the war." He argued that by focusing on the potential for Iranian retaliation or the risks to global energy markets, the media is projecting "weakness and fear."&nbsp;The US president specifically took issue with headlines that framed the Kharg Island strike, which he described as a total tactical success, as a "provocation" rather than a necessary defence of international shipping lanes.&nbsp;Trump asserted that at a time when American forces are deployed in the region, the domestic press should prioritise national interests over "clickbait" and "anti-American rhetoric."&nbsp;These remarks from the US president came as the war in West Asia entered its 15th day, after joint US-Israeli strikes on February 28 targeted the top leadership of Iran, assassinating Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on the opening day of the military campaign.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-urges-china-france-japan-and-uk-to-send-warships-to-open-strait-of-hormuz-1773500295310">Trump urges China, France, Japan, and UK to send warships to open Strait of Hormuz</a>&nbsp;In retaliation, Iran launched missile and drone attacks on US bases across the region and announced the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for nearly 20 per cent of global oil shipping.

Also Read: Trump urges China, France, Japan, and UK to send warships to open Strait of Hormuz In retaliation, Iran launched missile and drone attacks on US bases across the region and announced the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for nearly 20 per cent of global oil shipping. The move led to a sharp rise in energy prices, with crude crossing $100 per barrel. Amid mounting pressure from rising oil prices, Trump on Friday ordered massive strikes on Kharg Island, Iran's critical oil export hub, to push Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Friday also mounted an attack on the media, saying that certain journalists and outlets "just can't stop" producing unflattering coverage because they "only want to make the president look bad." Earlier in the day, in a Truth Social post, Trump urged multiple countries, saying: "Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea and the UK and others that are affected by this artificial constraint will send ships to the area so that the Hormuz will no longer be a threat by a nation that has been totally decapitated."

'Media wants US to lose war': Trump accuses media of ‘misleading’ coverage of West Asia war

Iran has accused the United States of reversing its stance on Russian oil, claiming Washington is now encouraging countries, including India, to purchase Russian crude after months of pressure to curb such imports. The comments came from Iran’s foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, who said the shift reflected a dramatic change in US policy following the outbreak of war involving Iran and rising instability in the Middle East energy market.&nbsp;According to Araghchi, the White House had spent months pressuring India and other countries to scale back purchases of Russian oil after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. But the disruption caused by the conflict involving Iran, including the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, has forced a rethink in Washington as global energy markets tighten. He said the US position had quickly shifted as oil supplies from the Gulf were threatened and global prices surged. “Europe thought backing the illegal war on Iran would win US support against Russia. Pathetic.”&nbsp;The comments come as Russia emerges as one of the biggest economic beneficiaries of the turmoil in the Middle East. The disruption to oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz has sharply increased demand for Russian crude from Asian buyers, particularly India and China. Analysts say Moscow is now earning tens of millions of dollars in additional revenue each day as prices rise and demand shifts.<h2>Here's what Iran's FM Seyed Abbas Araghchi said</h2>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">The U.S. spent months on bullying India into ending oil imports from Russia. After two weeks of war with Iran, White House is now begging the world—incl India—to buy Russian crude. Europe thought backing illegal war on Iran would win U.S. support against Russia.

Russia has so far earned an estimated $1.3bn to $1.9bn in windfall revenues from taxes on oil exports in the first days of the crisis. That gain has been driven by higher prices for Russia’s Urals crude and stronger demand from Asian markets. Industry data indicates Russian oil is now trading roughly $20–$30 per barrel above its average price in the previous three months. Some shipments to India are reportedly being sold at a premium compared with Brent crude, a reversal from the discounts that Russian oil previously offered.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/-a-big-hurdle-for-iranians-without-weapons-to-challenge-regime-trump-1773432772191">‘A big hurdle for Iranians without weapons to challenge regime': Trump</a>&nbsp;Energy analysts say the situation has given Moscow an unexpected financial boost after a difficult start to the year. Revenues from energy taxes had fallen sharply in early 2026, pushing Russia’s budget deficit to more than 90 per cent of the level projected for the full year. However, higher oil prices could quickly ease that pressure. “If the current shipment schedules, market intelligence, and cargo movements continue, total Russian crude arrivals for the full month could reach close to 2 million barrels per day,” said Sumit Ritolia, a lead analyst at Kpler in New Delhi, as quoted in an interview. “Russia is the big winner of this conflict,” he added.&nbsp;&nbsp;Analysts say the surge in prices could generate significant additional income for Moscow’s budget. Every $10 increase in the average monthly price per barrel of oil generates an additional $2.8bn in revenue for Russian oil exporters, of which the state receives about $1.63bn through taxation. “Roughly calculated, that equates to $54mn extra a day in budget revenues.” Some analysts believe Russia could earn between $3.3bn and $5bn in additional state revenues by the end of the month if current prices persist.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/jd-vance-says-kristi-noem-has-great-opportunity-in-new-shields-of-america-role-wion-1773432891942/embed">https://www.wionews.com/videos/jd-vance-says-kristi-noem-has-great-opportunity-in-new-shields-of-america-role-wion-1773432891942/embed</a>&nbsp;Much will depend on how long the Middle East crisis continues and whether energy flows from the Gulf remain disrupted. “Russia is the big winner of this conflict.” At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested global energy markets may be entering “a new pricing reality” and floated the possibility of resuming energy exports to Europe. Analysts say Russia could also increase oil production if prices remain high.&nbsp;&nbsp;The country is currently producing about 300,000 barrels per day below its quota under the OPEC+ agreement. However, whether Moscow can fully capitalise on the situation will depend largely on how the United States handles sanctions on Russian energy exports while the war in Ukraine continues.&nbsp;Disclaimer: WION takes utmost care to accurately and responsibly report ongoing conflicts in West Asia involving Israel, Iran, the US, Gulf nations, and non-state actors like Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, Islamic State, and others.

An investment company linked to the United Arab Emirates purchased a major stake in a Trump family–linked cryptocurrency venture shortly before Donald Trump started his second term as the president, according to a Wall Street Journal investigation published on Sunday (February 1). The deal granted the Emirati-backed firm a 49% ownership share in World Liberty Financial, a crypto company launched by members of the Trump family alongside relatives of Steve Witkoff, now the administration’s top Middle East envoy. The agreement was finalised just four days before Trump’s inauguration and was signed by Eric Trump, the Journal reported.&nbsp;Records reviewed by the newspaper show the buyers were associates of Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a senior UAE royal, national security adviser, and head of the country’s largest sovereign wealth fund. The investors reportedly paid the full amount upfront, with roughly $187 million flowing to Trump-related entities and at least $31 million going to companies tied to the Witkoff family. The transaction has reignited concerns about potential conflicts of interest involving the president and his inner circle, particularly given the investors' foreign government ties.&nbsp;The White House has dismissed those concerns, insisting that President Trump has no involvement in the company’s operations and that his assets are held in a trust overseen by his children. A spokesperson stressed that Trump acts solely in the interests of the American public and that no ethical violations exist. Administration officials also said Witkoff has complied with all ethics requirements, does not participate in government decisions affecting his finances, and has divested from World Liberty Financial.
