Trump’s pressure on Zelenskyy and the repercussions of the Iran war expose growing tensions in U.S. global influence. From European security to the Strait of Hormuz, the two conflicts are reshaping energy markets, alliances and the balance of geopolitical power.

The Pentagon has prepared a three-day strike option against Iran, targeting its missile and drone arsenal, energy facilities and military command centres. Trump says attacks will not resume before the November midterms, but the military buildup, stalled Hormuz negotiations and Iran’s continued resistance leave the region facing renewed escalation.

The US war on Iran is entering a new phase as three aircraft carriers and two amphibious groups move towards the region. Trump warns the confrontation will end soon, while a new AP-NORC poll shows 69% of Americans say the war has not been worth fighting.

The planned Tooro king coronation of Prince Edward Rukidi Nyabongo I faces fresh uncertainty after a last-minute High Court petition sought to halt Tuesday’s installation, citing Oyo’s alleged Will and claims that his son should inherit the throne.

The Tooro Kingdom succession crisis has entered a new phase after King Oyo’s burial, with attention turning to his reported children, the validity of his will, Kijanangoma’s selection and the government’s legal position as the royal family and Babiito clan remain divided.

Developing: Sources inside Karambi say King Oyo has not yet been buried and allege Queen Mother Best Kemigisa was blocked from completing the burial. Witnesses claim the casket was forcibly removed and the Queen Mother locked inside the vehicle.

Museveni’s words during King Oyo’s burial have raised fresh questions over the Tooro succession. If Edward Kijanangoma has already been selected as king, what does the President mean by saying the issue must first be “solved”?

Iran’s pressure on the Strait of Hormuz is now being reinforced by Houthi advances towards Bab al-Mandeb and attacks affecting Saudi oil infrastructure. Together, the two chokepoints expose the vulnerability of global energy and shipping routes.

Queen Best Kemigisha faces mounting questions as Tooro’s succession crisis deepens over King Oyo’s alleged son, a disputed will and the selection of Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma. Could an Omusuuga-led regency give the kingdom time to establish the truth?

Tooro’s royal succession is now at the centre of a bitter dispute. Questions over King Oyo’s reported son, Kijanangoma, the Omusuuga and the timing of the next king’s appointment have left the kingdom facing a historic succession crisis.

Questions are emerging about the Kijanangoma Rwanda name after reports that Tooro’s new king worked at Rwanda Television as Eddy David Nkurunkenzire. As Princess Ruth Komuntale rejects his selection, questions over his identity and the succession are deepening.

The Tooro throne carries a history of disputed succession, royal power struggles and violence. From the 1999 gunning down of Prince Charles “Happy” Kijanangoma to battles involving the Ugandan state and influential political voices, the so-called Tooro curse continues to haunt the kingdom’s royal story.
