Iran's supreme leader slams US nuclear proposal, says it will continue to enrich uranium
Iran's supreme leader has denounced a proposal by the United States aimed at curbing Tehran's nuclear efforts and demanded that his country retains independence amid reports of Washington offering to become involved in Tehran's nuclear program. Despite several rounds of talks between the two sides to thrash out a new nuclear deal major sticking points remain, with Iran insisting on its right to nuclear enrichment. 'The first word of the US is that Iran should not have a nuclear industry and should rely on the United States,' Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told a crowd gathered in Tehran to commemorate the death of Imam Khomeini, the founder of Iran's Islamic Republic. 'Our response to the US' nonsense is clear: they cannot do a damn thing in this matter,' he said. The US sent a nuclear deal proposal to Iran on Saturday. CNN has learned this suggests the US could invest in Iran's civilian nuclear power program and join a consortium that would oversee the enrichment of low-level uranium inside Iran for an unspecified amount of time. That potential consortium would be expected to include Middle Eastern nations and the UN's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency. Khamenei said Wednesday that Iran is refusing to allow the United States to give a 'green or red light' with its nuclear program and stressed on 'national independence.' A senior Iranian official told CNN on Monday that the US proposal is 'incoherent and disjointed, very unrealistic, and with excessive demands.' US President Donald Trump said on Monday, seemingly contrary to what was proposed to Iran, that the deal will not allow uranium enrichment. 'Under our potential Agreement — WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM,' Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform. Iran's supreme leader added on Wednesday that his country has been 'able to achieve a complete nuclear energy cycle,' a feat only achieved by a few countries. 'Uranium enrichment is an essential part of the Islamic Republic's nuclear program, and we will not abandon it,' Khamenei said. Iran and the US concluded a fifth round of high-stakes nuclear talks in Rome on May 23 amid growing skepticism in Tehran about the chances of a deal. After that round of discussions, the two sides 'agreed to meet again in the near future,' a senior US administration official said at the time.

Karine Jean-Pierre, Biden's former press secretary, says she's now an independent
(CNN) – Karine Jean-Pierre, who served as White House press secretary under former President Joe Biden, has switched her party affiliation to independent, according to a publishing company's description of her forthcoming book. Jean-Pierre, who has worked in Democratic politics for decades, is set to release a new book that will discuss Biden's decision to bow out of the 2024 election and encourage voters to look beyond the two-party political system. The description of her book, titled Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines,' says she 'didn't come to her decision to be an Independent lightly.' The book, which will be released in October, will examine 'the three weeks that led to Biden's abandoning his bid for a second term and the betrayal by the Democratic Party that led to his decision,' according to a book description from Legacy Lit, an imprint of Hachette Book Group. That suggests Jean-Pierre's book may further fuel the intraparty argument over whether Biden should have sought reelection given his age and questions about his mental acuity. Biden dropped out of the race last summer after a disastrous debate performance, making way for former Vice President Kamala Harris, who eventually lost to President Donald Trump. Jean-Pierre served as the White House's top spokesperson for more than two years and previously worked for the Biden-Harris 2020 campaign, in the Obama administration and for the progressive organization MoveOn. She faced criticism at times for her responses to questions about Biden's health, including in the wake of his debate performance. 'Until January 20, I was responsible for speaking on behalf of the President of the United States. At noon on that day, I became a private citizen who, like all Americans and many of our allies around the world, had to contend with what was to come next for our country,' Jean-Pierre said in a statement to CNN. 'We need to be clear-eyed and questioning, rather than blindly loyal and obedient as we may have been in the past.'
