NEW YORK (AP) - Oil prices resumed their rise because of the war with Iran, but U.S. stocks held steadier this time around. The S&P 500 rose 0.3% Tuesday and added to its gain from the day before, which was its best since the war began. The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite gained 0.5%.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Joe Kent, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, announced his resignation on Tuesday, citing his concerns about the justification for military strikes in Iran and saying he “cannot in good conscience” back the Trump administration’s war. “Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”

The Republican president has fumed on social media about stories he doesn’t like and berated a reporter on Air Force One.
