‘Fresh Start’: Trump Signals Syria Sanctions Relief As Sharaa Dangles Minerals & Trump Tower Deal

President Donald Trump has hinted at easing long-standing U.S. sanctions on Syria, citing new overtures from Syrian leader Sharaa and a potential “fresh start.” Sharaa is offering U.S. companies access to valuable minerals in a Ukraine-style deal and has even floated the idea of a Trump Tower in Damascus. Talks are reportedly being brokered by intermediaries from Saudi Arabia and Turkey, while Trump’s advisers remain divided. A possible meeting with Sharaa during Trump’s Mideast trip remains unconfirmed as regional power dynamics shift and economic opportunities open. #Trump #Syria #MiddleEast #Sanctions #Diplomacy #Sharaa #TrumpTower #USPolitics #GlobalTrade #MideastTour #SaudiArabia #Turkey #Qatar #UAE #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #PeaceTalks #TrumpSpeech #BreakingNews #GolanHeights #Macron #EU #Israel #AbrahamAccords #TrumpInMideast #SyrianCharmOffensive #EnergyDeals #SyriaSanctions #USSanctions #Trump2024 #BackchannelDiplomacy Also Read India Rejects Trump’s Trade Claim New Delhi Denies US Role In India-Pakistan Ceasefire :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-rejects-trump-s-trade-claim-new-delhi-denies-us-role-in-india-pakistan-ceasefire-4151755.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump May Temporarily Use Qatar’s $400 Million 'Flying Palace' As Air Force One Amid Ethics Scrutiny :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-may-temporarily-use-qatar-s-400-million-flying-palace-as-air-force-one-amid-ethics-s-4151121.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Welcomes Trump's Offer To Mediate Kashmir Dispute, Says Islamabad Dedicated To 'Promote Peace' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-welcomes-trumps-offer-to-mediate-kashmir-dispute-says-islamabad-dedicated-to-promote-pea-4150395.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

Iran’s STERN reply to Trump ‘Most destructive Force’ jibe | Nuclear deal falling apart? [Video]

Iran’s STERN reply to Trump ‘Most destructive Force’ jibe | Nuclear deal falling apart?

Iran has fiercely rebuked former U.S. President Donald Trump after he labeled Iran the “most destructive force” in the Middle East during a speech in Riyadh. Iranian officials, led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, slammed Trump’s remarks as hypocritical and deceptive—accusing the U.S. of enabling Israeli aggression in Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon while unjustly targeting Iran. Tehran defended its regional role, framing itself as part of the "Resistance Axis" against oppression, and blamed decades of U.S. sanctions and military pressure for Iran’s economic struggles. #Iran #Trump #MiddleEastPolitics #USIranTensions #IranSanctions #ResistanceAxis #AbbasAraghchi #IranNuclearDeal #USForeignPolicy #TrumpSpeech #RiyadhSummit #IranVsUS #GazaCrisis #IsraelIran #Geopolitics #USHypocrisy #TehranResponse #NuclearTalks #SanctionsWar #TrumpCriticism #IranDiplomacy #MiddleEastCrisis #BreakingNews #InternationalRelations #IranianPerspective #OmanTalks #ForeignPolicyCrisis #USSanctions #TrumpDoctrine #MaximumPressure Also Read Mukesh Ambani Meets US President Donald Trump In Doha :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mukesh-ambani-meets-us-president-donald-trump-in-doha-4153777.html?ref=DMDesc Trump’s Trumpet Makes Him a Laughing Stock :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-s-trumpet-makes-him-a-laughing-stock-4153289.html?ref=DMDesc India Rejects Trump’s Trade Claim New Delhi Denies US Role In India-Pakistan Ceasefire :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-rejects-trump-s-trade-claim-new-delhi-denies-us-role-in-india-pakistan-ceasefire-4151755.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~
