Trump suspends teleprompter operator over Kalshi betting allegations, White house says

US President Donald Trump has claimed that newly declassified intelligence reveals major vulnerabilities in America's election system and alleged that China obtained 220 million US voter files beginning during the 2020 election cycle. Speaking from the White House, Trump said the data included sensitive voter information and argued that it exposed the country to foreign interference. He also announced that the declassified documents would be released publicly and renewed his call for Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, which would require voter identification, proof of citizenship and tighter rules on mail-in voting. While US media noted that the documents are newly declassified, they also reported that many of the security concerns referenced have been publicly discussed for years. Trump's broader allegations about the 2020 election remain disputed, and the proposed legislation continues to face significant political hurdles in Congress.

The Trump administration has announced a major overhaul of US legal immigration rules by ending the long-standing policy that allowed international students, exchange visitors and foreign journalists to remain in the country for the duration of their approved programs. Under the new regulations, international students and exchange visitors will receive visas valid for a maximum of four years, while foreign journalists will be limited to 240 days and Chinese journalists to just 90 days. Those wishing to stay longer must apply for extensions or leave the United States and seek new admission. The Department of Homeland Security says the changes are intended to strengthen oversight and prevent long-term visa misuse, while critics argue the policy could discourage global talent, affect American universities and complicate international media operations. The rule is expected to take effect 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, pending congressional review.

US-Iran war: Trump threatens to attack Iran's power plants

The war in Ukraine has taken a terrifying turn. Watch how Russia is using the massive, three-tonne FAB-3000 glide bomb to flatten entire frontline positions from miles away. UN's announcement that the past month was the deadliest for civilians in four years, Kyiv’s daring drone strikes against oil refineries deep inside Russia, and the emergency creation of a nine-nation European ballistic missile defence coalition.

Tensions are flaring again over one of the world’s most important waterways. Iran has hit back at US claims and declared itself the "true guardian" of the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran is even mulling a bill to formalise its control, and there’s talk of tolls for ships passing through. Meanwhile, Trump is pushing Gulf allies to reimburse the US for protecting shipping in the region. With nearly 20% of the world’s oil passing through Hormuz, this isn’t just a political spat. It’s about trade, fuel prices, and who gets to call the shots on a 33km-wide chokepoint that the whole world watches.


US, Iran battle over Strait of Hormuz control 

The U.S.-Iran conflict has entered a dangerous new phase. After Iran claimed responsibility for striking two UAE-linked supertankers near the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. launched a five-hour barrage on Iranian military targets. Tehran responded by firing ballistic missiles toward a U.S. air base in Jordan. As tensions surged, President Donald Trump warned that Iran's heavily fortified Pickaxe Mountain nuclear facility could be America's next target, threatening what he called a "big fat shot."
