        "summary": "US Senate Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has criticised President Donald Trump's military operations against Iran, claiming they have led to soaring fuel prices and forced Americans to cut back on food spending. The escalation, including US and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets and Iran's subsequent blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, has disrupted global oil supplies, exacerbating economic hardships for ordinary citizens. Amid the tensions, Trump insists Iran secretly desires negotiations despite public denials, while his administration pushes for a swift resolution to the conflict.",
        "content": "<p>US citizens are beginning to reduce their food intake due to price\nhikes triggered by the US military operation against Iran, according to\nUS Senate Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerican citizens have already skipped meals due to the reckless war\nin Iran deliberately chosen by (US President Donald) Trump, and this is\njust another example of how the chaos he creates makes it increasingly\ndifficult for them to buy food,\u201d Schumer wrote on platform X on\nWednesday (25\/3).<\/p>\n<p>Schumer made the statement in response to media reports that US\ncitizens are now cutting back on food shopping to cover the sharply\nrising fuel costs after Iran blockaded the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n<p>On 28 February, the United States and Israel launched attacks on\ntargets in Iran, including in Tehran, causing damage and killing\ncivilians.<\/p>\n<p>Iran then retaliated by attacking Israeli territory and US military\nfacilities in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>This escalation has resulted in a de facto blockade of the Strait of\nHormuz, the main shipping route for oil and liquefied natural gas from\nPersian Gulf countries to global markets.<\/p>\n<p>The disruption has also affected oil exports and production in the\nregion and driven up prices.<\/p>\n<p>US President Donald Trump stated that Iran actually wants to\nnegotiate, even though it is not brave enough to admit it openly.<\/p>\n<p>Trump officially announced the schedule for his visit to China to\nmeet Xi Jinping. This first visit in 10 years was delayed due to the\nStrait of Hormuz crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s foreign policy adviser stated that the US has no interest in\nprolonging the conflict with Iran for more than three months.<\/p>\n<p>White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt urged Iran to\nimmediately accept an agreement to end the escalating conflict in the\nMiddle East.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump claimed that Iranian negotiators fear being killed by\ntheir own people if they admit to negotiating with the US. On the other\nhand, Iran views negotiations as a defeat.<\/p>",
