Trump says Netanyahu will do “whatever I want” on Iran, and he’s “in no hurry” to make a deal

The clip, posted online by Israel’s far-right national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir shows him mocking activists as they’re corralled in the custody of Israeli security personnel.   Ben-Gvir, who has been sanctioned by U.S. allies for inciting violence against Palestinians, is seen in one clip walking among some of the approximately 430 detained Sumud Global Flotilla activists with police and soldiers. The government minister waves a large Israeli flag and tells some of the activists: “Welcome to Israel, we are the landlords.”  One

Trump says Iran talks continuing at “rapid pace” after regime threatens “other fronts” in war

Oil prices were rising Monday following the latest fighting to threaten the U.S.-Iran ceasefire, but Wall Street didn’t appear very worried, with U.S. stocks hanging near their records. The S&P 500 was virtually unchanged from its all-time high set on Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 102 points, or 0.2%, as of 10:15 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was flat. Both are also coming off records. Some of the sharpest losses hit companies with big fuel bills hurt by the rise in oil prices. United Airlines lost 2.9%, and cruise-operator Carnival fell 2.7% as the price

Renewed hostilities have broken out between Iran and the United States, with each side claiming the other initiated attacks on military and civilian targets.

U.A.E. says Iran has resumed attacks as U.S. moves to reopen Strait of Hormuz

The United Arab Emirates said Monday it came under attack by Iran for the first time since a fragile ceasefire in the Mideast war took hold early April. The attacks appeared to be in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global energy. The U.S. military meanwhile said it sank six small boats from Iran as it moved to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The U.A.E. Defence Ministry said Iran launched four cruise missiles, with three shot down and one falling into the sea, while in the eastern emirate

Jaslene Massey breaks a U.S. discus record at CIF championships

CLOVIS, Calif. — There were many impressive performances at the CIF state track and field championships on Saturday, but the most breathtaking of all was one the fans packed inside Buchanan High’s Veterans Memorial Stadium did not see — Jaslene Massey’s throw of 196 feet, 4 inches in the discus — a mark that not only broke the state record but was the farthest throw ever by a girl in a U.S. high school meet. The discus competition finished before any of the track events started and was held on an auxiliary field, but the Aliso Niguel senior got a standing ovation

How wing-backs and chemistry helped the US break through against Senegal | USA

The US men’s national team has undergone considerable change from one window to the next throughout Mauricio Pochettino’s tenure. And it makes some sense; the Argentinian had plenty of first-hand assessments to conduct, limiting the core group’s ability to iron out patterns of play and forge partnerships. Still, amid all that turnover, Antonee Robinson and Sergiño Dest were expected to remain the first-choice options at full-back (or wing-back, depending on the system) for the 2026 World Cup. Both had been essential in the 2022 cycle, after all, and continued to fare well when healthy for their club teams (Fulham for

Trump recently edited possible U.S.-Iran agreement, including on enriched uranium and Strait of Hormuz, source says

Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency said Friday that the potential deal on the table with the U.S., which President Trump said he was preparing to make a “final determination” on imminently, was still “in the final stages of ratification in Iran and has not yet been decided.” The report questioned the president’s “claims about the Iran deal,” which Mr. Trump presented in his Friday Truth Social post as demands. They included that Tehran reopen and help to de-mine the Strait of Hormuz, and that the regime cooperate with the U.S. to have its stockpile of highly-enriched uranium “destroyed.”  The Fars
