Apple News Today · Trump touts big diplomatic wins. Here’s where things stand. · 25 Mar 2026 podcast

Pamuk said that, ultimately, it'll come down to when the U.S.

decides it wants to stop the war.

There are conflicting signals on that, too.

Yesterday, The Washington Post reported that the Pentagon ordered a couple thousand of Army paratroopers to the Middle East.

And there were more attacks from both sides.

Iran said a projectile landed near one of its nuclear power plants, and plumes of smoke rose over buildings in Tehran yesterday after Israeli strikes.

Meanwhile, Iran fired missiles into Israel, and there were more drone attacks on Gulf neighbors, including Kuwait's airport.

The U.S.

government founded the Voice of America during World War II with the goal of delivering news to people living under Nazi rule.

Later, during the Cold War, it was seen as a way to advance American values as a soft power tool.

But Trump has long accused the broadcasting service, which reached more than 360 million people globally a week, of doing the opposite.

He said it spread anti-American news propaganda.

In his second term, he appointed former TV anchor Carrie Lake to a senior advisor role without any Senate confirmation.

Then she immediately began major cutbacks.

NPR media correspondent David Fulkenflik told us about it.

Last year, Lake fired VOA's contractors and put more than 1,000 people on paid administrative leave.

But now her effort has been undone.

Recently, a federal judge ruled that Lake had been illegally running the agency responsible for VOA.

And there's another case to come.

A suit filed by VOA staffers on Monday claims that Lake did the very thing Trump criticized VOA for, spreading biased news.
