Trump’s Iran dilemma: He’s stuck in war with no exit in sight
WASHINGTON, Aug 6 (Reuters) – With President Donald Trump’s war against Iran now in its sixth month, this week’s flurry of threats and diplomacy has underscored the ever-tighter bind he finds himself in as he tries to extricate the U.S. from an unpopular conflict he originally claimed would last just weeks. Trump is caught between an emerging interim deal being negotiated by Iran and Oman that would give Tehran control over the Strait of Hormuz it never possessed before the war, or following through on his warnings of sharp escalation, risking a more prolonged crisis. The first option, analysts say,

Rupee falls 16 paise to close at 95.24 against US dollar
Mumbai, Aug 6 (PTI) The rupee depreciated 16 paise to close at 95.24 (provisional) against the US dollar on Thursday, on slight gains in the US Dollar Index and a modest increase in US Treasury yields. Forex traders said the rupee was pressured by a slight recovery in the US Dollar Index and foreign fund outflows, even as lower crude oil prices provided some underlying support. At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 95.13 against the greenback and traded in a range of 95.12-95.24 during the session. It eventually settled at 95.24 (provisional), lower by 16 paise from
