NewsdayAvailable for 29 days
President Trump says that negotiations with Iran are going 'extremely well' and that a deal could be reached with Iran "very soon" as thousands of US ground troops head to the Middle East. Could the US seize key Iranian islands or conduct coastal raids - and what would the American public make of that... We'll hear from an American veteran. Mr Trump added that Iran gave '20 big boats of oil' starting from tomorrow morning as oil prices continue to rise - Nick Marsh on our Singapore Business Desk will have more on that. And despite an ongoing civil war and military consolidating power - Myanmar will soon choose a new president - we'll bring you the latest on that, but first this news.
