Trump warns

Washington/Tehran: US President Donald Trump has warned that the United States would intervene if Iranian authorities use violence against peaceful protesters.

In a statement posted on his Truth Social account, President Trump said that if Iran attacks or kills peaceful demonstrators, the United States will step in to protect them. He added that the U.S. is fully prepared to act to safeguard protesters.

Reacting strongly to the warning, Ali Larijani, adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said that any US interference in Iran’s internal protests would be equivalent to spreading chaos in the region. He stressed that President Trump should understand that American intervention would only fuel instability.

The remarks come amid violent protests in Iran against rising inflation and the sharp decline in the national currency. According to reports, clashes between Iranian security forces and protesters have resulted in six deaths, while 30 protesters have been arrested in recent days.

Tensions remain high as international attention grows over the unrest and the possibility of foreign involvement.

Iran warns

Tehran: Iran has warned that it will respond forcefully to any potential attack following renewed threats by US President Donald Trump.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that Tehran’s response to any act of aggression would be “very severe.” In a statement posted on X, he stressed that Iran would react strongly to any illegitimate aggression.

Iran’s parliament also reaffirmed the country’s right to self-defense. Speaker of Parliament Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf said Iran does not need permission from anyone to defend itself, warning that the Iranian nation’s response to any adventurism would be unpredictable.

The strong statements come after Donald Trump, during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said he would support renewed attacks on Iran if it resumes its nuclear program.

Speaking to reporters in Florida after the meeting, Trump claimed that Iran was attempting to rebuild its nuclear facilities and said that immediate strikes should be carried out if Tehran continued nuclear construction.

Trump further stated that if Iran rebuilds its nuclear program, “we will have to take it down,” escalating rhetoric amid already heightened regional tensions.

Trump said, “A year ago, America was failing, on the brink of disaster, but in one year, we achieved what no one else could. We stopped eight wars in ten months.”

He criticized President Biden’s policies, asserting that illegal immigrants took jobs during the Biden era, while under his administration, all new jobs went to Americans.

Trump added that he received a strong mandate to end corruption, halt illegal immigration, and reduce drug trafficking. He claimed that drugs entering the U.S. via land and sea routes have been cut by 94 percent.

Police arrest

Los Angeles: Hollywood’s renowned director and actor Rob Reiner and his wife were found dead at their residence two days ago, foreign media reported. Following an investigation, police have arrested the couple’s son, Nick Reiner, holding him responsible for their deaths.

Law enforcement officials said the bodies were discovered at the family home, after which a detailed inquiry led to the arrest of their son on charges related to the killings. Authorities have not yet released further details regarding the motive or circumstances surrounding the incident.

The case took a political turn after US President Donald Trump made controversial remarks about Rob Reiner’s death, surprising observers with a sarcastic comment. Trump said Reiner was once a highly talented film director and comedy star but claimed that “Trump Derangement Syndrome” led to his demise.

Trump’s remarks drew sharp criticism from political leaders. Republican Congressman Thomas Massie described the statement as inappropriate and disrespectful, while California Governor Gavin Newsom called the president “a sick man” over his comments.

Rob Reiner was a vocal critic of President Trump and a major donor to the Democratic Party. He was widely celebrated for his role in the iconic television series All in the Family and for directing classic films such as When Harry Met Sally and The Princess Bride.

Trump files defamation lawsuit against BBC

Trump files defamation

Washington: US President Donald Trump has filed a defamation lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), accusing the broadcaster of airing an edited clip of his January 6 speech that allegedly damaged his reputation.

According to reports, President Trump has lodged the lawsuit in Florida, seeking $5 billion in damages over the broadcast of what he claims was a misleadingly edited version of his address. Trump contended that the BBC presented his remarks out of context, resulting in serious harm to his public standing.

The US president also warned the British broadcaster of further legal action, previously threatening to seek up to $1 billion in damages over the matter.

The controversy stems from a BBC documentary in which segments of Trump’s January 6 speech were edited together to give the impression that he directly instructed his supporters to march toward the US Capitol and engage in confrontation.

 Trump maintains that the quoted remarks were delivered nearly an hour apart and were not intended to incite violence.

The BBC has since acknowledged the error and issued an apology, admitting that different portions of the January 6, 2021 speech were combined in a manner that created a misleading impression that Trump had explicitly called for violence.

Following the incident, BBC Director General Tim Davie and BBC News Chief Deborah Turness have reportedly resigned over the editorial lapse.

Trump calls

Pennsylvania: Speaking at a major event in Pennsylvania, US President Donald Trump said that “tariff” has become his favorite word as billions of dollars are flowing into the US economy through them.

During his address, Trump made several claims regarding economic growth, investment, foreign policy, and border security.

He stated that the government has provided $12 billion in aid to American farmers using tariff revenues and announced that an energy company will invest $10 billion in Pennsylvania, calling it a positive step for the US economy.

Trump also claimed that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE have pledged $4 trillion in investment in the United States. According to the leaders of these countries, the US has become a powerful state again within a year.

On the economic front, he asserted that oil prices have fallen below $2 per gallon and that the income of the working class has doubled under his administration.

Criticizing former President Biden, Trump said that his government was “hostile to the working class” and allowed 25 million people to enter the US illegally during his tenure.

Highlighting border security, Trump claimed that North Korea has the world’s toughest border while the U.S. is witnessing reverse migration for the first time in its history.

On global peace, Trump said his administration has actively worked to maintain international stability, mediating ceasefires between Pakistan and India, as well as easing tensions between Thailand and Cambodia.

FIFA reduces Cristiano Ronaldo’s ban following meeting with Trump

by
FIFA reduces

International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) has issued a special ruling for Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo, reducing his suspension to one match after receiving a red card, just days after the striker met with U.S. President Donald Trump.

Ronaldo, 40, was initially facing a three-match ban for violent conduct during Portugal’s recent match against Ireland, which would have sidelined him for Portugal’s 2026 World Cup opener.

However, FIFA cited that this was the first red card of Ronaldo’s international career spanning more than two decades, leading to the shortened suspension.

The striker had already served his ban in the subsequent match against Armenia, making him eligible for Portugal’s opening World Cup fixture.

Portugal’s head coach Roberto Martinez previously defended Ronaldo, arguing that his on-field outburst did not constitute violent conduct.

FIFA clarified that if Ronaldo commits a similar offense during the probationary period, the remaining two-match suspension will be enforced immediately.

The special ruling comes shortly after Ronaldo’s high-profile meetings with President Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during the latter’s visit to the United States.

US President Donald Trump has said that his administration is close to finalizing an agreement to end the ongoing Russia–Ukraine war.

Speaking at a Thanksgiving event at the White House, President Trump noted that thousands of soldiers have been killed in the conflict, but “extraordinary progress” has now been made on a proposed peace deal aimed at bringing the war to an end.

Trump said his administration had helped stop eight conflicts in nine months, and efforts were now underway to halt another war.

He also shared an update on social media regarding Ukraine, stating that he had instructed his special representative, Steve Witkoff, to travel to Moscow for a meeting with the Russian President. According to Trump, only a few outstanding issues remain before an agreement can be finalized.

The White House also confirmed the significant progress, saying that while the peace framework had advanced, several “delicate points” still required further negotiations.

A few days earlier, U.S. and Ukrainian officials held talks in Geneva on a 28-point American peace proposal, after which both sides agreed to continue working on a new framework.

It is worth noting that President Trump has given Ukraine a deadline of November 27 to accept the peace agreement.

Washington, D.C.: Newly elected New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House, where they discussed mutual interests and cooperation on city and national matters.

Speaking to the media after the meeting, President Trump described the discussion as “good and productive,” expressing hope that Mamdani would manage New York’s affairs effectively. He added, “We will support him and provide every possible assistance to meet the expectations of the people.”

Trump also remarked that the mayor’s decisions could surprise conservatives, saying, “I hope Mamdani will astonish some conservatives.”

Responding to a question regarding the possible arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump clarified that the issue was not discussed during the meeting.

On international affairs, Trump highlighted his efforts in establishing peace in the Middle East, stating that he had facilitated eight peace agreements, including initiatives to end conflicts between Pakistan and India. He emphasized that both he and Mamdani share the goal of reducing wars globally.

During the meeting, Mamdani, without naming any country, criticized U.S. funding policies for Israel, stating that supporters of both he and Trump agree that American taxpayer money should not fund countries violating human rights.

When asked by a journalist whether he considered Trump a fascist, Mamdani began to respond, but Trump interjected, saying he had no objection if Mamdani called him that, noting, “It’s easier to say than explain, and I don’t mind.”

Mamdani also confirmed that he discussed the issue of alleged genocide in Gaza with President Trump during their meeting.

US President Donald Trump has come under renewed criticism following the viral circulation of a video showing inappropriate behavior toward Bloomberg journalist Katherine Lucy.

According to international news agencies, the incident occurred on Air Force One, when Lucy asked Trump a question regarding recently released documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The video shows Trump raising his finger to silence the journalist before she could finish her question, using derogatory language in the process. Lucy did not respond publicly to Trump’s conduct.

The clip quickly went viral on social media, drawing widespread condemnation from journalism figures and online users.

Bloomberg expressed support for Lucy, stating, “Our reporters perform an important public service and will continue to ask questions without fear.”

When White House officials were asked about Trump’s behavior, they claimed that the reporter “behaved inappropriately and unprofessionally with colleagues on the plane,” though no evidence was provided to substantiate the claim.
