War on Iran flips Trump’s economy from asset to political liability | This is America

In this episode of This Is America, hosted by Cyril Vanier, Al Jazeera asks whether Donald Trump’s biggest political asset – the economy – has flipped into a major liability as the war with Iran drives up prices and sends his approval ratings towards historic lows ahead of the midterms.

From Pasco County, Florida – Trump’s home state and a Republican stronghold where 62% voted for him in 2024 – Phil Lavelle meets supporters who once backed him enthusiastically but are now angered by soaring fuel, grocery, housing and healthcare costs. Gas prices have jumped above $4 a gallon, flights are “through the roof” because the Strait of Hormuz is blocked, and more than three‑quarters of registered voters – including over half of Republicans and 82% of independents – now blame Trump for the cost‑of‑living squeeze.

In Washington, Chief US Correspondent Alan Fisher track how Trump defends the Iran war as “short‑term pain for long‑term gain”, even as Democrats such as Salud Carbajal grill Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth on Capitol Hill over a $25bn war bill and a push for a 40% larger Pentagon budget.

Manuel Rapalo pulls up the Gallup data to show how Trump’s second‑term approval has fallen far faster than Bill Clinton, George W Bush or Barack Obama, with sharp drops after a government shutdown, tariffs and the joint US‑Israel attack on Iran.

Outside the Federal Reserve, Richard Gaisford explains why Fed Chair Jerome Powell warns that the Iran war is fuelling inflation and could “bake in” higher prices even as Trump’s allies push for rate cuts.

In the studio, former White House economic adviser Harry Broadman and former Bush administration official Suhail Khan argue that uncertainty over the war is now more corrosive than prices alone, urge the president to find an off‑ramp, and warn that Republicans could pay heavily in Congress if the pain continues.

At Union Station in Washington, Alex Baird rounds up a rare moment of online unity as Americans across the political spectrum vent about “pain at the pump”, rising rents, grocery bills and fertiliser costs that have some saying the American dream is turning into an American nightmare.

This Is America asks: as the Iran war turns the economy from Trump’s core strength into a political liability, does he care what the polls say – and how long does he really have to turn things around before voters deliver their verdict?

Maritime authorities warn of rising threat to ships off Somalia’s coast

Besides the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the shipping industry is now facing another threat in the Horn of Africa.

On Monday, the cargo vessel Sward was hijacked near the Somali port of Garacad.
15 crew members were on board -- including two Indian nationals and thirteen Syrians.

On Thursday, armed men reportedly attempted to board a cargo ship from a small boat south of Eyl, Somalia.
Warning shots were fired, and all crew members were reported safe.
In a separate incident, a Somali-flagged fishing vessel was seized.

On April 22, the oil tanker Honour 25, was taken near Somalia’s northeastern coast.
It had 17 crew members and was reportedly heading towards Mogadishu.

And a day earlier, there was another suspected attack near Mareeyo in northern Somalia.

Al Jazeera correspondent Hamza Mohamed has more.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is pushing for President Donald Trump's request to increase America's defense budget request for 2027.
The Pentagon is asking Congress to approve a $1.5 trillion budget for defense.

OPEC member states hold meeting in Vienna after UAE’s decision to leave bloc

Russia says it hopes the UAE's decision to leave OPEC won't spell the end of the oil-producing group.
The UAE announced it will depart the oil-producing bloc on Friday, after nearly 60 years of membership.
It paves the way for the country to raise production from 3.6 million to up to five million barrels a day.
Russia, the second-largest crude producer in OPEC+, says it will stay in the group.
The Iran war has disrupted global energy supplies.
OPEC is holding a meeting at its headquarters in Vienna to discuss the latest data on the oil and gas industry.

Israeli strike kills Palestinian paramedic as attacks persist in Gaza despite truce

More than six months after a US-brokered ceasefire took effect in the Gaza Strip, Palestinians say Israeli forces continue to violate the agreement with daily attacks.
The latest strike killed Ibrahim Saqr, a paramedic and father of two, as he headed to work in northern Gaza.
Medical officials say at least 17 paramedics have been killed in the north since the truce began, with journalists, civil defence teams and police also targeted, including four officers killed a day earlier.
Artillery shelling in central areas and naval fire along the coast have also been reported, with at least 823 Palestinians killed since the ceasefire took effect.
Residents describe deepening despair, with no reconstruction, no return to homes and no Israeli withdrawal implemented on the ground.
Humanitarian aid remains far below agreed levels, with only around 150 of the promised 600 daily trucks entering mostly carrying commercial goods. Fuel and spare part shortages are pushing vital services to the brink, with hospitals at risk of losing oxygen supplies and incubators, and sewage systems in Khan Younis no longer functioning.

Displaced Lebanese criticise ceasefire as Israeli strikes continue

Lebanon's president Joseph Aoun is facing criticism for holding direct talks with Israel and supporting a ceasefire that many displaced people say has failed to stop Israeli attacks.
More than a million Lebanese remain displaced, with some accusing the government of allowing Israel to continue striking perceived threats and occupying southern land.
Aoun defends the negotiations, saying those who took Lebanon to war for foreign interests committed treason, and aims to end the state of war with Israel.
Political divisions are deepening as the US pushes for peace and Hezbollah's disarmament, which the group rejects.

US feels war pinch as Iran claims victory amid impasse, experts debate

Al Jazeera hosted a panel discussion on the US-Iran stalemate with two guests: Rob Geist Pinfold, Lecturer in International Security at King's College London, and Zohreh Kharazmi, Associate Professor at the Faculty of World Studies at the University of Tehran.
Rob Geist Pinfold argued that neither side wants a return to direct conflict.
The US is "feeling the pinch" with gas prices at a four-year high, while Iran needs time to regroup after military degradation. However, neither wants to be the first to compromise. He noted that the IRGC has consolidated its power, functioning as a "shadow state," and has incentives to prolong the conflict. Ordinary Iranians are paying the price, with the IMF forecasting Iran's economy will contract significantly. He cited up to 30,000 killed in recent protests over dire economic conditions.
Zohreh Kharazmi countered that Western media overestimates Iran's economic problems. She argued that 200 million barrels of floating oil have been sold, and Iran's new security paradigm in the Strait of Hormuz has broken sanctions structures. She dismissed reports of mass protests as "fabricated lies," accusing the West of inflating casualty numbers to "whitewash what Israelis did in Gaza." She insisted that decision-making is collective via the Supreme National Security Council, not dominated by the IRGC, and that millions of Iranians continue to show support for the Islamic Republic nightly.
Both agreed the IRGC does better in conflict, but disagreed sharply on whether ordinary Iranians support or suffer from that dynamic.

Meta accused of allowing Israeli groups to profit from anti-Palestinian content

A digital rights organisation has found that Meta is allowing Israeli settler groups and anti-Palestinian influencers to monetise content on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, despite violating the company's own rules.
Groups such as Hilltop Youth, which is sanctioned by the EU, UK, Australia and Canada for violent attacks on Palestinians, maintain monetised accounts on Meta's platforms.
Meanwhile, Meta has removed thousands of Palestinian accounts, including those of journalists documenting Israel's war on Gaza, and prohibits monetisation of any Palestinian accounts.
Rights groups say the disparity reflects systematic bias rather than a technical issue.

Iran: Flights resume at Tehran’s main airport after 57 days of closure

International flights have resumed at Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport after 57 days of suspension amid a fragile ceasefire. The resumption comes with both pessimism and optimism, as the ceasefire could either lead to lasting peace or another round of confrontation. While the main airport reopens, Mehrabad Airport and several other airports across the country sustained attacks, and multiple civilian aircraft were damaged.
On US President Donald Trump's claim that Iran is in a "state of collapse" and wants the Strait of Hormuz opened, Tehran says the door for diplomacy is "ajar" — ready to negotiate but not under imposed conditions — while maintaining military readiness for any scenario. Unlike previous talks limited to the nuclear dossier and sanctions, current negotiations involve war reparations, security assurances, frozen assets, the Strait of Hormuz, and the US naval blockade.

Four Indonesian soldiers to stand trial for acid attack on activist

Four Indonesian soldiers are due to stand trial in Jakarta over an acid attack on prominent activist Andrie Yunus, who suffered severe burns to a quarter of his body.
The assault occurred after Yunus had recorded a podcast criticising the military's growing influence in Indonesian society.
An investigation linked the four soldiers to the attack, but activists accuse the armed forces of a wider campaign to intimidate critics and say trying the case in a military court lacks transparency.
Rights groups have called on President Prabowo Subianto, a retired general, to launch an independent investigation.

Mexico cartel violence: 4,000 soldiers deployed west after drug lord arrest

Mexico has deployed 4,000 soldiers to the western states of Nayarit and Jalisco after violence erupted on Monday following the capture of a man believed to be a possible successor to “El Mencho,” Mexico’s most wanted drug lord, who was killed in February in a military operation. The arrest of Audias Flores Silvia, alias “The Gardener,” prompted gunmen to torch vehicles and shops. For years, the capture or killing of cartel leaders has been framed as a major victory in Mexico’s war on drugs.

Mexico has deployed 4,000 soldiers to the western states of Nayarit and Jalisco after violence erupted on Monday following the capture of a man believed to be a possible successor to “El Mencho,” Mexico’s most wanted drug lord, who was killed in February in a military operation. The arrest of Audias Flores Silvia, alias “The Gardener,” prompted gunmen to torch vehicles and shops. For years, the capture or killing of cartel leaders has been framed as a major victory in Mexico’s war on drugs.

Al Jazeera’s Julia Galiano reports.
