Trump's Iran Withdrawal: NATO, Oil Crisis, Attacks

0:00It's April 2nd, Adelaide News Today starts now. AI powered and ready, I'm Cory with the story. President Trump just told Reuters the U.S. is pulling out of the Iran war pretty quickly, maybe in two to three weeks. He's giving a prime time speech from the White House tonight to lay it all out, including his thoughts on maybe ditching NATO if allies don't step up. Trump says the strikes have made sure Iran can't build nukes anytime soon, and after we leave, spot hits could happen if they act up again. Meanwhile, ceasefire talks are heating up through Pakistan's mediation, but Iran denies asking for one. Trump posted that they need to reopen the Strait of Hormuz first, a key row for fuel shipments that's now blocked. His team signaled they're open if demands like that get met. The human toll is brutal, with thousands dead in the fight spreading across the region. Global oil is taking a massive hit, twice as bad this month as in March, according to the International Energy Agency. That fuel and diesel shortages are already biting Asia and headed for Europe soon.

1:01Fresh attacks keep coming, drones torch fuel tanks that Kuwait's airport, ablaze hit Bahrain, an Iranian missile struck a Qatar oil tanker with no casualties, and strikes damaged Iran's biggest passenger port. Israel saw impacts near Tel Aviv and hit back with Air Force runs on dozens of Tehran targets. Trump's venting frustration at NATO for not backing U.S. goals, while Europeans like France call any alliance ops in the Strait illegal. With oil chaos and stall talks, eyes are on that speech for the next move in this tent standoff.
