Trump Announces Economic Warfare On Iran; Missouri Judge Clears GOP-Backed House Map for Midterms

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday warned of economic consequences against any country that supported Tehran or provided "any type of lifeline" to the country.

"ANY country that allows its financial institutions, businesses, airports, or government entities to provide any type of lifeline to Iran will itself face TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

A Missouri judge cleared the way Wednesday for the new U.S. House districts backed by President Donald Trump to be used in the November midterm elections. Cole County Circuit Judge Daniel Green threw out an effort to force a statewide referendum on the Republican-drawn map. The decision represents a win for Republicans as they try to keep their slim majority in the House.
