TRUMP HAILS 'VERY GOOD MEETINGS' AS US-IRAN INDIRECT TALKS RESUME IN DOHA

US President Donald Trump says indirect talks with Iran in the Qatari capital Doha are going well, describing the sessions on Wednesday as "very good meetings" and saying Iran's denuclearisation is "moving along well."

The technical-level discussions — mediated by Qatar and Pakistan — are focused on the release of Tehran's frozen assets and navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner meeting regional leaders but not attending the sessions directly.

Iran's deputy foreign minister says working groups have been formed to follow up on a memorandum of understanding, but formal negotiations on a final agreement have not yet begun.

TRUMP'S FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE REVEALS MORE THAN ONE-POINT-FOUR BILLION DOLLARS IN CRYPTOCURRENCY INCOME

The US Office of Government Ethics has released US President Donald Trump's annual financial disclosure, revealing he earned more than two-point-two billion dollars in 2025 — with more than one-point-four billion of that coming from cryptocurrency ventures.

The nine-hundred-and-twenty-seven-page document shows hundreds of millions of dollars flowing from meme coin sales and a digital token platform co-founded with his sons, even as the value of those assets has since plummeted for other investors.

The White House says there is no conflict of interest, but Democratic senators have called for administration officials to testify under oath about the dealings.

INDIRECT US-IRAN TECHNICAL TALKS UNDER WAY IN DOHA AS BOTH SIDES TEST WHETHER CEASEFIRE CAN HOLD

Indirect technical talks between the United States and Iran are under way in the Qatari capital Doha, with mediators shuttling between the two sides rather than senior officials meeting face to face.

US envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have been meeting Qatari and other mediators, while three Iranian technical delegations are working through the details of the interim ceasefire deal signed on the seventeenth of June.

Tehran says it will not enter negotiations on a final agreement until Washington begins implementing key parts of that deal, including unfreezing Iranian assets and ensuring safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

IRAN REFUSES DIRECT TALKS WITH US IN DOHA AS TEHRAN DEMANDS CEASEFIRE COMPLIANCE BEFORE NUCLEAR NEGOTIATIONS

Iran says it will not hold direct talks with the United States in Doha until the terms of the existing ceasefire memorandum of understanding are fully implemented — with Qatar's Foreign Ministry confirming there will be no face-to-face meeting between Iranian officials and US envoy Steve Witkoff on Tuesday.

Washington had hoped to use the sixty-day negotiating window to press Tehran on its nuclear enrichment programme, but Iran says the priority is ensuring the US-Iran ceasefire holds.

US SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP IN 6-3 RULING, STRIKING DOWN TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER

The United States Supreme Court has struck down US President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, ruling six to three that the Constitution guarantees automatic citizenship to virtually all children born on American soil.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, firmly rejecting the order President Trump signed on his first day back in office — marking the administration's third major defeat at the court in recent months.

Three conservative justices — Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch — dissented.

The plan includes not replacing aging naval Destroyers, instead using cheaper controlling ships and a fleet of unmanned drone vessels.

MONACO AND FRANCE HUNT SUSPECTED PARCEL BOMBER AFTER BLAST WOUNDS UKRAINIAN OLIGARCH AND TWO OTHERS

Police in Monaco and neighbouring France are searching for a man suspected of detonating a parcel bomb in the wealthy Mediterranean principality on Monday evening, wounding three people including a Ukrainian oligarch.

The device, which reportedly contained bolts and buckshot, exploded at around nine o'clock local time in a residential building near the border with France. Two adults suffered life-threatening injuries while a teenager was less seriously hurt.

Surveillance footage showed the suspect fleeing on foot across the border into the French town of Beausoleil, and as of early on Tuesday no arrest had been announced.
