The heightened US-Iran rhetoric comes as Bloomberg Economics has found that Donald Trump is following through on a greater share of his threats in his second term as president.

During his first term, Trump carried out about 40% of the threats he made.

That rate has risen to 60% so far in his second administration.

As Bloomberg's chief geoeconomics analyst Jennifer Welsh puts it, the shift suggests Tehran shouldn't bet on taco, referring to the popular investor shorthand for Trump always chickens out.

Denmark and Greenland are stepping up their lobbying of US lawmakers to challenge President Trump's push for control of the Arctic Territory.

A group of senators is set to meet members of the Danish Parliament in Copenhagen today to discuss the issue and show support for Greenland's sovereignty.

The move after a high-level diplomatic meeting failed to diffuse tensions and European nations moved to establish a military presence on the island.

In the UK, one of the Conservative Party's most senior politicians has defected to Nigel Farage's Reform Party.

In announcing his move, Robert Jenrick criticised both Labour and the Conservatives.

Jenrick had challenged Cemi Badenoch to lead the Conservatives in 2024 and had served as a minister running housing and immigration policy.

Despite Conservatives broadly rallying behind Badenoch, the defection cements the split on the right, traditionally a two-party system.
