The US president will gain nothing from bullying, broken promises, and fake news, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has said US President Donald Trump should curb his “theater diplomacy” as it will not work with Iran, Tehran’s top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has said. Trump announced on Saturday that he had called off a planned attack on Iran, which, according to him, would have been on a scale “not seen since World War II.” He claimed that he made the decision because Washington and Tehran were close to reaching a diplomatic solution to the conflict in the Middle East. In the following days, the US president insisted that the two sides were “having very good discussions,” but warned that Iran would be “hit very hard” if the Strait of Hormuz, through which around one-fifth of the world’s seaborne oil passes, was not reopened “very soon....

The US president reportedly told Republican donors “We need to elect JD [Vance],” despite publicly maintaining ambiguity US President Donald Trump has privately indicated that he wants Vice President JD Vance to succeed him in the White House, The Washington Post reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. During a closed-door Republican donor meeting in the Oval Office roughly two weeks ago, Trump reportedly said, “at the end of the day, we need to elect JD.” The remark contrasts with Trump’s public refusal to endorse a 2028 successor. He has praised both Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, suggesting they could even run on the same ticket. The newspaper said that despite the apparent declaration of support, the president continued asking aides after the donor meeting which of the two would make the stronger presidential candidate. Several advisers also cautioned...
The attacker was reportedly a student who later took his own life A student at a Thai school reportedly shot and killed a teacher and wounded several other people before taking his own life on Friday. The shooting occurred at Debsirin Nonthaburi School in the Bang Kruai district of Nonthaburi province, which forms part of the greater Bangkok metropolitan area, according to local media reports. Officially confirmed casualty figures remained limited, although unverified reports suggested the toll could be higher. Some accounts claimed that as many as three teachers and three students were among the fatalities, while up to 20 people may have been injured.

The pair were convicted of violence and incitement to hatred but cleared of causing the victim’s demise Two French livestreamers have received suspended prison sentences for repeatedly abusing and humiliating a man during online broadcasts before his death. A criminal court in Nice found Safine Hamadi and Owen Cenazandotti guilty of violence against 46-year-old Raphael Graven, known online as Jean Pormanove, as well as incitement to hatred over insults directed at him. Graven died on August 18, 2025, while the streamers were asleep during a live broadcast. Prosecutors later said his death was probably linked to poor health and a fragile heart rather than the abuse itself. The abuse was streamed on the Kick platform over several days. The defendants maintained that the violence and humiliation had been scripted, partly staged and carried out with Graven’s consent. Hamadi, who expressed remorse durin...
“We are doing the same” in Iran, the US president has said, appearing to link military operations to control of oil resources US President Donald Trump has hailed Venezuelan oil as the “spoils” of war, in stark contrast to his earlier portrayal of the January operation in Caracas as being intended to bring “peace, liberty, and justice” to the Venezuelan people. Speaking in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Trump claimed that “billions and billions of barrels of oil” are coming out of Venezuela, describing it as “one of the most fertile places for oil in the world.” Venezuela holds the world’s largest proven oil reserves, surpassing Saudi Arabia and Iran, despite years of sanctions and underinvestment. Referring to the January operation in which the US kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, Trump said Washington had recovered its costs “many, man...
President Donald Trump earlier suggested that the incompetence of local authorities was behind the problems, rather than Iran Hackers have targeted water and wastewater utilities in at least a dozen US states, ABC News has reported, citing multiple sources. The American authorities believe that Iran, which has been in conflict with the US since being attacked in late February, is the main suspect behind the cyberattacks, although its involvement hasn’t been officially confirmed, the broadcaster said on Tuesday.

Over the years, the US has accused Iran of attempting to hack its banks, infrastructure, and communications of high-ranking officials, with the Islamic Republic consistently denying the allegations. Last Thursday, the FBI said “malicious cyber actors” had targeted water and wastewater utility systems in seven states in late July. Their...
