Geopolitical Tensions: Israel, Iran, and U.S. Policy

President Donald Trump says he will decide within two weeks whether the United States will enter the escalating conflict in the Middle East. Israel's Minister of Economy and Industry Nir Barkat discusses Israel's strategic goals in its ongoing campaign against Iran and how the country views potential U.S. involvement. Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate has advanced the GENIUS Act, a bill aimed at regulating dollar-pegged stablecoins, setting up a final vote in the coming days. Katie Haun, CEO of Haun Ventures, weighs in on how the legislation could reshape the crypto industry and the future of digital currencies. Plus, President Trump extended the deadline for a TikTok ban by another 90 days, while a new report finds the U.S. added roughly a thousand new millionaires each day in 2024.
