[US-Israel, Iran War Day #207] US Probes Binance over Possible Iran Sanctions Violations

In Brief…

• US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Washington and Tehran were in contact the same day and predicted that they would eventually reach a settlement. “I think that a settlement is going to be reached,” he told UK prime minister in New York.
• France and the US agreed to work together to protect freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and critical Middle East energy infrastructure, while also seeking a moratorium on strikes against energy facilities.
• The Trump administration proposed putting $5 billion into a new regional energy fund, with eight Middle Eastern partners asked to match the US contribution, creating a potential $10 billion pool to rebuild war-damaged infrastructure and reduce dependence on Hormuz.
• Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi said Iran has barred Iraqi tankers from passing through Hormuz and that Iraq has lost about $60 billion in revenue since the war began.
• The UN fact-finding mission said Iran committed crimes against humanity during its crackdown on nationwide protests in January 2026.
