The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board blasted the latest lecture President Donald Trump offered a global leader after a recent attack. Russia recently bombed a passenger train in Ukraine along the Polish border, which is a main travel route for civilians. Afterward, Trump lectured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about attacking Russia's energy infrastructure, showing just how sensitive the administration is to gas prices, according to the editorial. "Go ahead, make Vladimir Putin’s day, Mr. President," the editorial board wrote. The editorial board also argued that Trump's continued attacks against Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression continue to embolden America's enemies. "So Russia can fire away at any and all targets in Ukraine, but Ukraine must restrain itself in retaliating in Russia," the editorial reads in part. "Mr. Trump is clearly worried about the price of diesel fuel, but blaming Ukraine amid Iranian and Houthi attacks on Mideast (sic) oil production and transport is political excuse-making on a grand scale.""It’s also strategically misguided as Russia and Iran help each other in their respective conflicts," the editorial added. "Mr. Trump seems to think he can put these wars into separate boxes. Every time he does, he has adversaries in Moscow and Tehran smiling at their good luck."

President Donald Trump was taunted Sunday with a clip from the popular TV show "The Simpsons" as strikes between the U.S. and Iran intensified. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of Iran's Islamic Consultative Assembly, posted a clip on X of Homer Simpson filling up his RV at a gas station. The total cost climbs past $999, and Homer cheers for "free gas" as the ticker turns over to triple zeros. Ghalibaf posted the short clip in response to a Bloomberg report about gas retailing for $9.99 a gallon in San Diego. The post was also made at a time when Trump has predicted that the Iran skirmish will end quickly after the midterm elections in November. Trump has also touted the U.S. military's dominance in the fight as Iranian officials vow they won't surrender. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called on Trump Sunday in a post on X to send the military to face his "vacant forces."“If they're human, why deny people access to water, food, and medicine? Our people can't be bullied into submission. Iran won't surrender,” the post reads. https://t.co/ixB2cCm8aF pic.twitter.com/3RZodIRaZW— محمدباقر قالیباف | MB Ghalibaf (@mb_ghalibaf) September 13, 2026
