The outlet reported that Paknejad confirmed that the two countries were strengthening cooperation in “peaceful” nuclear energy and would be building a new nuclear plant in Iran with Russian funding. Paknejad announced, “Iran and Russia will continue their cooperation in the peaceful use

Amazon may have walked back plans to display import costs at the digital checkout to consumers — but Chinese company Temu is going the opposite way.
Since President Donald Trump whacked China with import tariffs up to 145%, Temu has begun making the added import tax visible to all customers at checkout — where the cost of shipping, sales tax, and import charges are added to the subtotal, NYNext has learned.
The inflammatory move — Amazon’s similar plan was dropped after swift political blowback — is likely the doing of the ruling Chinese Communist Party, designed to undermine the US and Trump, according to sources.
Frustrated by long delays and rising costs, President Donald Trump is no longer waiting around for Boeing to deliver the new Air Force One. According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, the federal government has decided to refurbish a used Boeing 747 aircraft that once belonged to the Qatari government — a bold move as Trump eyes a quicker solution. The U.S. government has reportedly hired defense contractor L3Harris Technologies to revamp the plane, which Trump hopes to begin using as early as this fall. This refurbished jet is not meant to permanently replace Air Force One, but it could serve as a temporary solution until
The hunt for the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, AKA COVID-19, has become a government-wide investigation. The intelligence community, public health agencies, scientific research departments, and colleges and university labs are all trying to unravel the mystery of how a bat disease made the jump to humans. The Chinese Communists have an answer. They claim the pandemic originated in America.
A Chinese government-sponsored propaganda paper states, "The US should cease from shifting blame and evading responsibility, stop finding external excuses for its internal malaise, and genuinely reflect on and overhaul its public health policies. The US cannot continue to turn a deaf ear to the numerous questions over its conduct."
Cuban “president” Miguel Díaz-Canel, who is subordinate to nonagenarian dictator Raúl Castro, celebrated the international communist holiday May Day on Thursday sporting a scarf featuring Palestinians flags and a keffiyeh pattern.
May Day, or International Workers’ Day, is typically marked on May 1 by communists to celebrate the historical “achievements” of Marxism, which include the indiscriminate killing of upwards of 100 million people, the wholesale elimination of many thriving economies, and pervasive cultural, psychological, and environmental destruction around the globe.
An American defense contractor who was freed from Kuwait on Wednesday praised President Donald Trump for the effort that led to his release.
Tony Holden was freed Wednesday after 903 days in captivity, according to Fox News.
“President Trump, I want to thank you for what you’ve done for me and my family,” Holden said in a video posted to X by Sebastian Gorka.
“I wanted you to know that — everyone on the team, everyone who has supported this effort — that you know that we greatly appreciate it,” he said.
Prince Harry has lost his appeal against the UK government over taxpayer-funded security.
During a two-day hearing at a London court last month, the Duke of Sussex, 40, claimed he had been singled out for “unjustified and inferior treatment” when he and his family were stripped of their publicly funded security detail.
On Friday, Sir Geoffrey Vos, Lord Justice David Bean and Lord Justice Andrew Edis announced the ruling — which comes as a huge blow to the “Spare” author and his wife, Meghan Markle, who has refused to return to the UK following Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022.
The appeal was widely considered Harry’s
Vice President JD Vance on Thursday slammed former President Joe Biden’s administration during a speech at Nucor Steel Berkeley for deciding that products would be made overseas instead of in the United States.
Vance said that over the last few decades, political leaders forgot about the “core part of American national identity” by allowing the U.S. to rely on foreign powers for essential goods. The vice president said manufacturing facilities like Nucor immensely struggled over the last four years due to the Biden administration’s “crushing environmental regulations.”
“For a couple decades, though, our leaders forgot about that core part of American national identity. They decided that America
In what universe does it make sense that the President of the United States has to sign an executive order to stop illegal aliens from receiving Social Security benefits? That’s not just an absurd headline—it’s a tragic indictment of how far this nation has strayed from the rule of law, common sense, and constitutional integrity.
Let’s get one thing straight: illegal immigrants are already barred from receiving Social Security benefits. Full stop. It’s enshrined in federal law, constitutional precedent, and the very fabric of what it means to be a sovereign nation. Yet here we are, once again watching a president step in with a pen
Former Democratic Colorado Rep. Yadira Caraveo reportedly attempted to take her own life twice in 2024 while serving in Congress and campaigning for reelection.
The apparent suicide attempts, in February and April, involved high doses of prescription medication that prompted emergency responses to her home and congressional office, according to The Colorado Sun. Both events were previously undisclosed to the public and only came to light as Caraveo announced a new bid for Congress this year. Emergency records reviewed by the outlet show that police responded to Caraveo’s Thornton residence on Feb. 8, 2024, after aides called 911 and reported suicidal behavior. Caraveo allegedly told officers she had taken
Republican Michigan Rep. John James believes the fate of President Donald Trump’s agenda in the upcoming midterm cycle could run through the battleground state.
James, an Iraq War veteran and a vocal ally of President Donald Trump, announced his 2026 gubernatorial run to succeed term-limited Democratic Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer on April 7. The two-term lawmaker argued he is the best candidate positioned to flip the governorship red and advance the president’s America First agenda in Michigan, in an exclusive interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has released a series of emails from 2022 showing the FBI attempted to crush a member of the first Trump administration for refusing to bow to the Jan. 6 Committee’s unlawful demands.
Grassley explains the emails in an April 29 letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel.
“My office has obtained Biden administration emails regarding the investigation and later prosecution of Peter Navarro,” Grassley wrote. “These communications provide a behind-the-scenes snapshot of some of the actions taken by the FBI’s Washington Field Office (WFO) to investigate Navarro for contempt of Congress and obstruction.”
With the passing of Pope Francis, the Catholic Church is entering a defining moment. The two sides, one rooted in tradition and the other pushing for so-called progress, are battling for control of the Church’s future. On one side, the progressive cardinals are scattered and unsure because their messaging has failed. On the other hand, the conservative cardinals have rallied with a focus on unity. A message that’s gaining a lot of traction and reshaping the conversation.
The Catholic Church would look so different today if the conservative and traditional Pope Benedict had remained in power.

Former presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has sparked fresh facelift rumors after she was spotted sporting an enviably-taut visage.
The former president and secretary of state stepped out in New York City on Wednesday night after eating at Carota in the city's West Village.
Hillary, 77, looked taut faced and wrinkle free in the new pictures of the two, while Bill looked his 78 years. Bystanders cheered as they left the eatery. Her new look comes after speculation that she went under the knife before beginning her campaign for the 2016 presidency.
Journalist Edward Klein wrote in his book 'Unlikeable: The Problem with Hillary', that husband Bill had 'wanted her
The first descriptor I attached to Donald Trump, back when he took the lead in the race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, was “empty vessel.” He was never that.
Former President Biden and Jill Biden are sitting down for their first interview together since leaving the White House, appearing next week on “The View.”
The couple is poised to join the ABC daytime talk show next Thursday to “discuss life after [Biden’s] presidency, his legacy, Democrats’ election losses, and the current political landscape,” the network said in a Thursday statement.
Biden has been slowly stepping back into the spotlight since exiting the White House following former Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss to President Trump in November.
Last month, Biden delivered his first public address after leaving office at a conference in Chicago.
On Wednesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “On Balance,” Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) argued that President Donald Trump “continued to close the border,” after President Joe Biden “used his extraordinary powers, emergency powers to close down the border and the drop in border crossings started with President Biden, dramatically.”
Host Leland Vittert said that during NewsNation’s town hall earlier in the evening, “the border almost didn’t come up because it is something that Donald Trump has solved that Joe Biden said he couldn’t do without legislation, Donald Trump did. Has that been a place that the Democrats are facing some real weakness and vulnerability?”
As you know, it’s very difficult to be a minority in the modern United States of America. The U.S. is widely known for being among the most hostile countries in the world for anyone who is not white, for gay people, for trans people, for religious minorities, and for all women.
Except it’s not because that’s the opposite of the truth.
It is breathtaking how American citizens who enjoy the highest standard of living and the most legal freedom in the world believe they are living in an oppressive authoritarian regime. And they really do seem to believe it. Modern feminists get dolled up in Handmaid’s Tale costumes to protest the
Several cities across Italy, Portugal, and Spain are preparing for protests on June aimed at pushing back against the effects of mass tourism, despite local economies being so reliant on foreign money coming into their cities. Organizers say the demonstrations will focus on issues such as housing shortages, environmental damage, and strained public infrastructure in areas overwhelmed by visitor traffic, according to Travel and Tour World.
The movement is being coordinated by the Southern Europe Network Against Touristification, which includes activists from Venice, Lisbon, Palermo, Barcelona, and the Canary Islands. Roughly 120 representatives met in Barcelona recently to finalize the protest plans, hoping to pressure
A teacher in Maine repeatedly called for the killing of President Trump and his supporters on social media. She admitted her Superintendent “will have to fire me” over the call to violence.
JoAnna St. Germain, an English teacher at Waterville Senior High School, took to Facebook to ask the Secret Service to “take out” the president.
“The Secret Service has the perfect opportunity, if they choose to step up and take it,” she wrote.
“You are the ones with power. Coordinate. Take out every single person who supports Trump’s illegal, immoral, unconstitutional acts. Look at the sycophants and give them what they’re asking for.

Classmate: Report 13 replies
The Harvard Law Review is awarding a $65,000 fellowship meant to serve "the public interest" to Ibrahim Bharmal, the Harvard Law School student who faced criminal charges for assaulting an Israeli classmate, according to a new report.
Bharmal is one of this year's recipients of the Harvard Law Review Fellowship, Ira Stoll of The Editors reported. The program supports "recent Harvard Law School graduates"—Bharmal is set to graduate this month—with "a demonstrated interest in serving the public interest through their work and scholarship." It comes with a $65,000 stipend that funds each fellow's work "in a public-interest related role at a government agency or nonprofit organization."
Some foreign truckers are reportedly quitting the industry because President Donald Trump directed deputies Monday to restart the English-language proficiency tests for foreign drivers.
One Spanish-speaking driver told CBS Miami that “it is an awful law,” and added that he has seen many truck drivers putting their trucks on sale.
“The Cuban-American community could be one of the most affected,” said a report from En.Cibercuba.com.
“It is estimated that between 20,000 and 25,000 truck drivers of Cuban origin are active in the United States, many of whom have limited proficiency in English, [and] the requirement to pass an official test could pose an additional hurdle for their job stability,”
A newly released survey by ResumeTemplates.com indicates that 75 percent of graduating college seniors have not yet secured employment, and 34 percent have not even started to apply for jobs. Of the latter group, almost 25 percent say they feel too overwhelmed to even begin the search.

Julia Toothacre, ResumeTemplates chief career strategist, told The Epoch Times that she is not at all surprised by those findings. (snip)“A lot of college students are in a bubble and don’t even think about jobs until two weeks before graduation. Some of them are still trying to figure out exactly what they want to do.”
NPR CEO Katherine Maher traveled over to Comedy Central and The Daily Show on Tuesday to ring the alarm bells over what could happen should NPR lose its federal money. Maher painted a nightmarish scenario where people go without news, Sesame Street gets shut down, and political polarization increases because, according to her, public media is the “foundational infrastructure” that holds the country together.
Host Jordan Klepper began by wondering, “The criticism from the right is, what do we need public funds to go towards NPR for? What is that argument? People are getting their news from all sorts of people. Most people get their news from the TikTok feed
Canada held elections on Tuesday, and in a stunning development, Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party completed the comeback. While the conservatives did make gains compared to the last decade, left-winger Mark Carney will remain prime minister, and the bill is about to come due.
After suffering under years of Trudeau's disastrous leadership, Canadians had a chance to change course. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who was the odds-on favorite to win the election just a few months ago, had promised to lift his nation out of its decline, promoting personal and economic freedom.
The choice should have been clear. Instead, the voters of Canada decided that what they needed
