🇮🇷 Iran Stalling Talks To Weaken Trump Before Midterms
Iran has deliberately prolonged nuclear talks with the U.S. to damage Donald Trump politically ahead of November's midterm elections, three senior Iranian officials and an Iranian insider told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Tehran's reluctance to reach a quick deal is also driven by fears of renewed U.S. military action and deep distrust of Washington. The officials said Iran is convinced Trump is ready to resort to fresh attacks to break the stalemate in the eight-month-old war.

🇺🇸 Obama Condemns Federal Search of Rep. Ilhan Omar's Home
Former President Barack Obama publicly condemned a federal law enforcement search of Representative Ilhan Omar's home, calling it "so appalling."
Obama stated the search was an effort to intimidate a Trump critic, framing it as an abuse of federal investigative power against a political opponent. Omar is a Democratic congresswoman and a prominent critic of the Trump administration.
No further details on the scope or basis of the federal probe were specified in the available reporting.
The U.S. Army's Mission and Installation Contracting Command awarded 21,450 contracts totaling $6.8 billion in fiscal year 2026, an increase from the previous year.
The contracting command, which manages procurement for Army installations and missions, issued the awards across its portfolio of acquisition responsibilities.
The rise in contract volume and value reflects growing Army procurement activity heading into the new fiscal period.
🇷🇺 Wright Calls Russian Diesel Deal an Incentive to End War
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright defended Trump's decision to waive sanctions on Russia, framing a 300,000-ton diesel supply agreement with Moscow as pressure — not concession.
Wright argued Russia is currently unable to export diesel because supplies are depleted by the war effort. "The only way they can get additional diesel to export is if they turn down the conflict with Ukraine," he said Sunday on CNN. "This is not going soft on Russia. This is an incentive to end the war."
The move has drawn bipartisan criticism. Republican Sen. Thom Tillis called it "beyond irresponsible" and "unconscionable," noting the original sanctions passed the Senate 86–11. Ukraine's President Zelenskyy said the waiver "seems wrong." The IEA has warned the global diesel shortage could extend into 2027, driven by Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz following U.S. and Israeli strikes in February.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the United States has resumed sharing intelligence with Ukraine after a suspension that left gaps in early-warning missile tracking and broader security coordination.
Zelensky made the announcement on NBC's Meet the Press, saying data flows had been blocked for "some period of time." The restoration follows tensions over Ukrainian deep strikes against Russian oil refineries and warnings from U.S. officials conveyed to Kyiv's embassy. Zelensky said he hopes bilateral talks with Washington will convene this week.
