Il Tempo: Il Pentagono ordina l'invio di 2.000 soldati in Medio OrienteWASHINGTON (STATI UNITI) (ITALPRESS) – Il Pentagono ha ordinato il dispiegamento in Medio Oriente di circa 2.000 soldati dell'82^ Divisione Aviotrasportata dell'Esercito “per fornire al Presidente Trump ulteriori opzioni militari, mentre valuta una nuova iniziativa diplomatica con l'Iran”. Lo hanno riferito ai media americani funzionari del Dipartimento della Difesa, sottolineando che si tratta di militari della “Forza di Risposta Immediata” della divisione, una brigata di circa 3.000 soldati in grado di essere schierati ovunque nel mondo entro 18 ore. Altri militari della brigata, evidenzia il “New York Times”, potrebbero essere inviati nei prossimi giorni. Considerando anche i circa 4.500 Marines già in viaggio verso la regione, il dispiegamento delle forze d'èlite dell'Esercito americano porta il numero totale di truppe di terra aggiuntive inviate nella zona di guerra dall'inizio del conflitto, il 28 febbraio, a quasi 7.000 unità.– foto Ipa Agency –(ITALPRESS).The Pentagon orders the deployment of 2,000 soldiers to the Middle East.WASHINGTON (UNITED STATES) (ITALPRESS) – The Pentagon has ordered the deployment of approximately 2,000 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division of the Army to the Middle East “to provide President Trump with additional military options, while evaluating a new diplomatic initiative with Iran.” Defense Department officials told American media, emphasizing that these are military personnel from the division’s “Immediate Response Force,” a brigade of approximately 3,000 soldiers capable of being deployed anywhere in the world within 18 hours. Other members of the brigade, the “New York Times” highlights, could be sent in the coming days. Considering also the approximately 4,500 Marines already en route to the region, the deployment of the U.S. Army’s elite forces brings the total number of additional ground troops sent to the conflict zone since the beginning of the conflict, February 28, to almost 7,000 units.– photo Ipa Agency –(ITALPRESS).#Pentagon #theMiddleEast #WASHINGTON #UNITEDSTATES #Trump #DefenseDepartment #American #Marines #theUSArmy’s #IpaAgency https://www.iltempo.it/italpress/2026/03/25/news/il-pentagono-ordina-l-invio-di-2-000-soldati-in-medio-oriente-46974800/

@TheBadPlace Fink's framing of AI as the defining economic force feels both accurate and self-serving given BlackRock's positioning. The US-China AI competition angle is particularly interesting — wonder how that shapes their investment thesis across different regions.

@us Chalamet has already ruined it for me, so I doubt I will watch.His arrogance is kind of the epitome of the "ugly American" and I'm done putting the sign in the window and going along just to get along. I would be thinking that throughout the movie, so no matter how great an actor he thinks he is, it will always be clouded by that impression of him, for me.

L'Huffington Post - News, inchieste e approfondimenti HuffPost: Trump: "La Nato non ci aiuta: non ne abbiamo bisogno, ma ce ne ricorderemo""Un errore veramente stupido". Coì Donald Trump, parlando con i giornalisti alla Casa Bianca, ha definito il rifiuto della Nato di aiutare gli Stati Uniti a mettere in sicurezza lo stretto di Hormuz. "Penso che la Nato abbia fatto un errore davvero molto stupido. L'ho sempre detto, sapete, mi chiedo se la Nato sarebbe mai stata dalla nostra parte. Quindi questa è stata una grande prova, perché non ne abbiamo bisogno, ma avrebbero dovuto esserci", è tornato ad accusare il presidente americano che ha concluso dicendo: “ma ce ne ricorderemo”Trump: “NATO doesn’t help us: we don’t need it, but we’ll remember it.”“A really stupid mistake.” Said Donald Trump, speaking with journalists at the White House, he had defined the NATO’s refusal to help the United States secure the Strait of Hormuz. “I think the NATO made a really very stupid mistake. I’ve always said that, you know, I wonder if the NATO would ever have been on our side. So this was a big test, because we didn’t need it, but they should have been there,” he returned to accuse the American president who concluded saying: “but we’ll remember it.”#DonaldTrump #theWhiteHouse #UnitedStates #theStraitofHormuz #American https://www.huffingtonpost.it/video/2026/03/18/video/iran_trump_la_nato_non_ci_aiuta_non_ne_abbiamo_bisogno_ma_ce_ne_ricorderemo-21443267/

Il Tempo: Trump “L'Iran è completamente sconfitto, vuole un accordo ma non accetterei”WASHINGTON (STATI UNITI) (ITALPRESS) – “I media delle fake news odiano riportare i successi ottenuti dall'esercito degli Stati Uniti contro l'Iran, che è stato completamente sconfitto e vuole un accordo, ma non un accordo che io accetterei. L'Iran aveva piani per conquistare l'intero Medio Oriente e annientare completamente Israele. Proprio come l'iran stesso, quei piani sono ora morti”. Così sui social il presidente degli Stati Uniti, Donald Trump, che poco prima aveva annunciato di avere dato ordine al Comando Centrale degli Stati Uniti di condurre “uno dei più potenti bombardamenti nella storia del Medio Oriente, annientando completamente ogni obiettivo militare sull'isola di Kharg, il gioiello della corona iraniana. Le nostre armi sono le più potenti e sofisticate che il mondo abbia mai conosciuto ma, per ragioni di decenza, ho scelto di non distruggere le infrastrutture petrolifere sull'isola. Tuttavia – prosegue Trump -, qualora l'Iran, o chiunque altro, dovesse fare qualcosa per interferire con il libero e sicuro passaggio delle navi attraverso lo Stretto di Hormuz, riconsidererò immediatamente questa decisione. Durante il mio primo mandato, e tuttora, ho ricostruito le nostre forze armate trasformandole nella forza più letale, potente ed efficace, di gran lunga, al mondo. L'Iran non ha la capacità di difendere nulla di ciò che vogliamo attaccare: non c'è niente che possano fare al riguardo. L'Iran non avrà mai un'arma nucleare, nè avrà la capacità di minacciare gli Stati Uniti d'America, il Medio Oriente o, del resto, il mondo intero. L'esercito iraniano e tutti gli altri coinvolti in questo regime terroristico – chiosa il presidente americano – farebbero bene a deporre le armi e a salvare quel che resta del loro paese, che non è molto”.(ITALPRESS).-Foto: Ipa Agency-Trump “Iran is completely defeated, wants a deal but I wouldn’t accept it”WASHINGTON (UNITED STATES) (ITALPRESS) – “The media of fake news hate to report on the successes achieved by the United States military against Iran, which has been completely defeated and wants an agreement, but not an agreement that I would accept. Iran had plans to conquer the entire Middle East and completely annihilate Israel. Just like Iran itself, those plans are now dead. So on social media, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated that he had ordered the U.S. Central Command to conduct “one of the most powerful bombings in the history of the Middle East, completely annihilating all military targets on the island of Kharg, the jewel of Iran’s crown. Our weapons are the most powerful and sophisticated that the world has ever known, but for reasons of decency, I chose not to destroy the oil infrastructure on the island. However – Trump continued – if Iran, or anyone else, were to do anything to interfere with the free and safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I would immediately reconsider this decision. During my first term, and still today, I have rebuilt our armed forces, transforming them into the most lethal, powerful and effective force, by far, in the world. Iran has no ability to defend anything we want to attack: there’s nothing they can do about it. Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, nor will it have the ability to threaten the United States of America, the Middle East, or, indeed, the whole world. The Iranian military and all those involved in this terrorist regime – the president concluded – would do well to lay down their arms and save what remains of their country, which is not much.”(ITALPRESS).-Photo: Ipa Agency-#WASHINGTON #UNITEDSTATES #UnitedStates #MiddleEast #Israel #theUnitedStates #DonaldTrump #theUSCentralCommand #theMiddleEast #Kharg #theStraitofHormuz #first #Iranian https://www.iltempo.it/italpress/2026/03/14/news/trump-l-iran-e-completamente-sconfitto-vuole-un-accordo-ma-non-accetterei--46803835/
