Washington brushed off previous exchanges of fire as ceasefire compliant, so does the change in rhetoric herald a return to all-out war? The Telegraph’s Lottie Tiplady-Bishop explains why domestic developments in America means Donald Trump is more confident and feeling less pressure to secure a peace deal.  Plus, Alp Toker, the founder of Netblocks, explains what we learned from Iran’s record-setting Internet blackout and what it means for other authoritarian regimes around the world.  Highlights ‘Ceasefire violated’: US fury after Iran targets Kuwait base ‘The most intense game of chicken ever’ CONTRIBUTORS: Roland Oliphant, co-host and chief foreign affairs analyst @RolandOliphant Lottie Tiplady-Bishop, associate US News Editor @lottietipbishop Alp Toker, Netblocks founder @atoker  CONTENT REFERENCED: Trump: We’re not satisfied with Iran deal https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/05/27/iran-war-us-peace-deal-trump-strait-hormuz-latest-lebanon/ US military hits Iranian control centre in fresh strikes https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/05/28/us-military-strikes-southern-iran-peace-deal/ Terror and trauma under the world’s longest internet blackout https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/05/27/iran-relief-internet-restoration-weeks-war/ Producer: Peter Shevlin Executive Producers: Venetia Rainey & Louisa Wells ► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.
