It's Thursday, February 19th. This is Evening Wire.
Former Prince Andrew was arrested today in connection with his ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Daily Wire reporter Lyndon Blake has the details.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who turned 66 on the day of his arrest, was taken into custody Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Police say they were conducting searches at his home in Berkshire and Norfolk. And according to the BBC, law enforcement said, quote, it was assessing a complaint over the alleged sharing of confidential material with Epstein. This confidential material reportedly included trade documents, with one email appearing to forward Epstein official trade reports for Hong Kong, Singapore, and Vietnam. The disgraced former prince was stripped of his royal titles back in October of last year, following revelations about his ties to Epstein. If convicted, he could face life in prison.
President Trump hosted the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace today, where he signaled a stark deadline for Iran. Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips reports. President Trump spoke on the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, saying that peace in the Middle East won't exist as long as Iran has a nuclear weapon. He then said they need to make a deal and that, quote, bad things will happen if they don't. Here he is laying out a timeline.
Maybe we're going to make a deal where you're going to be finding out over the next probably 10 days.
The president also covered the success of the initiative to raise nearly $7 billion. He touted the end of eight international conflicts so far and also the reconstruction efforts already underway in Gaza. He went on to highlight leaders present in the room who have recently helped end conflicts between their countries, mentioning Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as Pakistan and India. Thank you, everybody.
In a major shift in European foreign policy, the EU has formally recognized the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization.
What led to the arrest of Former Prince Andrew?
This means that effective tomorrow, all funds, financial assets, and economic resources connected to the group within EU member states will be frozen. Individuals and companies that do business in the EU will also be barred from making any resources available to the terror organization. The designation brings the EU in line with the US, Canada, Israel, and several Gulf nations.

The U.S. is withdrawing all remaining troops from Syria. Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce has more. Following a decade-long presence to combat the Islamic State, the final 1,000 troops remaining in Syria will be withdrawn over the next two months. A senior administration official clarified that the U.S. would still be able to respond to a resurgence of the Islamic State in the region, but that a standing presence of U.S. troops is no longer necessary.
