 Trump threatens Iran with major strikes and warns of potential control of oil infrastructure as regional conflict escalates  President Donald Trump said Thursday that the United States would strike Iran “VERY HARD TONIGHT,” escalating already heightened tensions as both sides continue exchanging attacks across the region. In a social media post, Trump also threatened to “assume total control” of Iran’s oil and gas infrastructure, including the key Kharg Island export terminal, describing potential action “in the not too distant future.” The warning came as U.S. and Iranian forces traded fire for a second straight day, marking the third major escalation in less than a week following earlier clashes involving Iran, Israel, and U.S. forces stationed across multiple countries. The ongoing exchanges have pushed the region closer to a wider conflict, while diplomatic efforts appear increasingly strained. Trump said Iran would “pay the price” for stalled negotiations, while Iranian ...

CARRICK NOT INTERESTED IN PERSONAL GLASNER DUEL. (PHOTO).


 Carrick not interested in personal Glasner duel


Michael Carrick says the chance to inflict damage on one of the men thought to be a contender to be Manchester United's next head coach will not be a motivating factor in Sunday's game against Crystal Palace. Palace manager Oliver Glasner is second favourite for the permanent role with most bookmakers, despite a troubled campaign in which he has openly criticised his club's board, lost in the FA Cup to Macclesfield and fallen out with supporters amid a struggling Premier League campaign.


Interim United boss Carrick is now the favourite, thanks to five wins and a draw from his six games in charge. It is a record which, after Aston Villa's shock defeat at Wolves on Friday, means United will go third in the table for the first time since the end of the 2022-23 campaign if they beat Palace at Old Trafford. That is enough of a motivation for Carrick, who says there is no personal element to his preparations at all. "It is not something that would cross my mind until you mentioned it," he said.


"It doesn't make any difference whatsoever. "I have total respect for Crystal Palace and Oliver, in terms of the team that they are and the role they are doing. But it's the next game for us." Palace were ahead of United in the table when the two sides met on 30 November. One influential figure in United's 2-1 success that day, Matthijs de Ligt, has not played since because of a back injury. Fellow centre-half Lisandro Martinez missed Monday's win at Everton with a calf problem which Carrick regards as "a small issue" that will not keep the Argentine out "for very long".


With fifth-placed Chelsea due to play Arsenal and Aston Villa in their next two games, this is looking like a chance for United to cement their position in the Champions League spots. It is an aim few thought likely when Ruben Amorim was sacked in January. "We are in a decent spot," Carrick said. "We feel like we are moving forwards, but it's just about what's in front of us, and trying to get to where we want to be, which is a little bit higher in the league.


"That's literally all I'm worried about in the moment."
