Donald Trump could be the man to save Cuba

US-Iran news LIVE: As US President Donald Trump tries to finalise a peace deal with Iran, his ties with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are reportedly turning sour. Trump hits out at Netanyahu, stating that “without me, there would be no Israel.” He even called the Israeli PM “crazy.”The tension came as the US President criticised the recent Israeli strikes in Lebanon, which once again threatened to jeopardise negotiations between Washington and Tehran. Trump has been pushing for a peace deal as he faces growing political blowback at home.Iran exports first crude oil in two monthsOn Tuesday, Iran was able to export its first crude oil shipments in two months after the two sides reached an agreement to end the US naval blockade, according to maritime intelligence company TankerTrackers. The US naval blockade was imposed on 13 April, days after Tehran closed the Strait of Hormuz once again following tensions with Washington. Earlier on Monday, Trump announced that the Strait of Hormuz had been reopened under the terms of the agreement, but later revised the timeline, saying the strait would reopen after a formal signing ceremony in Geneva on Friday.Australia lowers Middle East travel warningsFollowing the announcement of a US-Iran peace deal, Australia lowered its travel warnings for the Middle East countries, including Bahrain, Israel, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Foreign Minister Penny Wong said the advisory moved to "reconsider your need to travel" from "do not travel," but added that Australians should continue to delay non-essential travel to the Gulf states.Iran seeks Israel's withdrawal from LebanonIran's top diplomat on Tuesday reiterated that the tentative deal to end the war with the United States would require Israel to withdraw from Lebanon, a condition that Israel has already rejected and could impact the agreement, leading to the resumption of all-out war.The deal, which is between Washington and Tehran, has not been made public yet, and officials from both sides have offered contradictory statements of what is in it. While Israel is not a party to the agreement, it is part of the war after joining the US in launching strikes on Iran on 28 February. Israel has also fought the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon and seized large swaths of that country.Oil falls to three-month low as US-Iran peace deal to boost supplyOil reported its longest run of declines this year as the US-Iran peace deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz raised expectations for a revival in supply, with leading Wall Street banks reducing their price forecasts and key market gauges tumbling.Global benchmark Brent fell for a fourth session, settling under $79 per barrel, the lowest level since early March. The US and Iran are preparing to formally sign an interim peace deal on Friday that would allow tankers trapped since the start of the conflict to exit the key waterway.US-Iran peace agreement yet to be made publicOn Tuesday, details for the US and Iran's interim agreement to end the war in the Middle East started emerging, with Trump saying that Washington will rule out a nuclear weapon for Tehran and a US official stating that it allows Iran to sell oil upon signing.The memorandum of understanding signed this week, though yet to be made public, extends a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days to allow the warring countries to negotiate a permanent truce.

There's an Unhinged New Video Game About Trump and the Iran War

A sweeping warrantless surveillance authority remains on track to expire Friday, with no clear path to a deal, after President Donald Trump refused this week to abandon his pick of housing official Bill Pulte to temporarily lead the US intelligence community—even tasking Pulte with gutting the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in a DOGE-style “downsizing“ before a permanent director is named.In a Truth Social post after his second White House meeting in two days with House speaker Mike Johnson, Trump called Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act “very important to our military, and keeping the American people safe” and asked Congress for a short-term extension to give him time to find a permanent director of national intelligence.Section 702 lets the government collect the communications of foreign targets abroad without a warrant, sweeping in an unknown volume of Americans’ messages that the FBI can later search. It faces a first-ever lapse in its legal authorization if Congress does not act by the end of Friday, June 12. Any renewal needs 60 votes in a Senate where Republicans hold 53 seats.The director of national intelligence oversees the program, and Pulte’s appointment as acting DNI has become the major sticking point. Reauthorization had been on a workable path until Trump named him as Tulsi Gabbard’s replacement early last week. Senate leaders then could not muster enough votes to pass even a motion to begin debate on the program, with seven Republicans breaking from the party to join Democrats. The Republican holdouts want a warrant requirement to query Americans’ data, which the administration rejects; Democrats refuse to advance the bill while Pulte is in line for the job.As head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Pulte has sent the Justice Department criminal referrals alleging mortgage fraud by Trump critics including New York attorney general Letitia James, Senator Adam Schiff, and Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook—nearly identical allegations, which all have denied, against three of Trump's highest-profile critics. He has no intelligence background, despite a post-9/11 statute requiring the director to have “extensive national security expertise.” Senator Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee and a coauthor of last week’s stalled bipartisan compromise, said someone with a history of weaponizing confidential information should not be handed the role.House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries has drawn a hard line over the appointment. Negotiations were “already in a very sensitive place,“ he told reporters Monday, when “Donald Trump, as he often does, tosses a hand grenade” by elevating Pulte. In a separate interview, Jeffries called Pulte “deeply unqualified” and “deeply dangerous,” with no national security, military, or law enforcement background and a demonstrated willingness to “weaponize the federal government against Donald Trump’s perceived adversaries.”Withdrawing the appointment, he said, was a necessary but not sufficient condition for a deal: “That’s a starting point, not an ending point,” he said. “And then we can see if we can responsibly get to a place where there are enough reforms built into the law to provide guardrails and protect the American people.”GOP leaders have pressed the White House for an off-ramp. Senate majority leader John Thune said the administration was “weighing seriously“ naming a permanent, Senate-confirmed director, while claiming the program is essential heading into the World Cup and the country’s 250th anniversary celebrations—framing the president echoed on Truth Social on Wednesday. Senator John Cornyn was more direct: “I’m still seeking any evidence of qualifications. And Democrats are not going to vote to pass 702 until he’s withdrawn.”Cornyn said materials from Section 702 generate roughly 60 percent of the President’s Daily Brief, a figure Senate Judiciary chairman Chuck Grassley has also cited.Some Republicans d
