Trump Hints at an Announcement in the 'Next Two Days' on Iran Nuclear Talks
President Donald Trump on Sunday indicated there was progress with Iran on its nuclear program and hinted that an announcement could come in the 'next two days.'
He was notably more upbeat than the Omani mediator of the talks between the United States and Iran, who said Friday that the two nations made 'some but not conclusive' progress in the fifth round of negotiations in Rome, the Associated Press said.
'We've had some very, very good talks with Iran,' Trump told reporters in northern New Jersey after leaving his golf club, where he spent most of the weekend. 'And I don't know if I'll be telling you anything good or bad over the next two days, but I have a feeling I might be telling you something good."
He emphasized that 'we've had some real progress, serious progress" in talks that took place on Saturday and Sunday.
'Let's see what happens, but I think we could have some good news on the Iran front,' Trump said.
Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff and Michael Anton, the State Department's policy planning director, represented the US at the talks at the Omani Embassy in Rome.
The two countries are discussing how to curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting some economic sanctions that the US has imposed on the country.

Trump Says it Might Be Better to Let Ukraine and Russia 'Fight for a While'
US President Donald Trump said Thursday that it might be better to let Ukraine and Russia 'fight for a while' before pulling them apart and pursuing peace. In an Oval Office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump likened the war in Ukraine — which Russia invaded in early 2022 — to a fight between two young children who hated each other. 'Sometimes you're better off letting them a fight for a while and then pulling them apart," Trump said. He added that he had relayed that analogy to Russian President Vladimir Putin in their phone conversation on Wednesday, The Associated Press reported. Asked about Trump's comments as the two leaders sat next to each other, Merz stressed that both he and Trump agreed 'on this war and how terrible this war is going on,' pointing to the US president as the 'key person in the world' who would be able to stop the bloodshed. But Merz also emphasized that Germany 'was on the side of Ukraine' and that Kyiv was only attacking military targets, not Russian civilians. 'We are trying to get them stronger,' Merz said of Ukraine. Thursday's meeting marked the first time that the two leaders sat down in person. After exchanging pleasantries — Merz gave Trump a gold-framed birth certificate of the US president's grandfather Friedrich Trump, who immigrated from Germany — the two leaders were to discuss issues such as Ukraine, trade and NATO spending. Trump and Merz have spoken several times by phone, either bilaterally or with other European leaders, since Merz took office on May 6. German officials say the two leaders have started to build a 'decent' relationship, with Merz wanting to avoid the antagonism that defined Trump's relationship with one of his predecessors, Angela Merkel, in the Republican president's first term. The 69-year-old Merz — who came to office with an extensive business background — is a conservative former rival of Merkel's who took over her party after she retired from politics. A White House official said topics that Trump is likely to raise with Merz include Germany's defense spending, trade, Ukraine and what the official called 'democratic backsliding," saying the administration's view is that shared values such as freedom of speech have deteriorated in Germany and the country should reverse course. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to preview the discussions. But Merz told reporters Thursday morning that if Trump wanted to talk German domestic politics, he was ready to do that but he also stressed Germany holds back when it comes to American domestic politics.

Saudi Arabia Marks World Environment Day, Urges Global Action on Plastic Pollution
The Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture reiterated on Thursday the Kingdom's unwavering commitment to environmental protection, the preservation and sustainability of natural resources, and the rehabilitation of ecosystems. It also stressed the critical need to mobilize national and international efforts to reduce environmental pollution worldwide, aligning with the objectives of the Kingdom's Vision 2030 to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. On the occasion of World Environment Day, annually observed on June 5, the ministry underscored the grave threat posed by plastic pollution, which has escalated into a widespread global crisis. United Nations statistics reveal that over 400 million tons of plastic are produced annually worldwide, yet the recycling rate for this immense volume does not exceed 10%. This alarming statistic highlights the severe harm inflicted upon marine life and the alarming entry of microplastic particles from plastic waste into the food chain within seas and oceans. The world celebrates World Environment Day with this year's theme being "Beat Plastic Pollution," which emphasizes the importance of raising awareness about tackling plastic pollution and fostering enhanced cooperation between the government sector and local communities. The goal is to encourage the adoption of sustainable environmental practices that will lead to a healthy, pollution-free future. The ministry said that the Kingdom has made tangible progress in aligning its national environmental policies and plans with global developments. It has launched several pioneering environmental initiatives, both locally and internationally, including the Saudi Green Initiative and the Middle East Green Initiative. Additionally, numerous national programs and initiatives are in place to enhance community awareness of the importance of environmental conservation through the adoption of sound practices. The Kingdom also annually organizes the "Environment Week" event across all its regions to contribute to raising the level of community participation in environmental programs and practices, reflecting the profound concern for environmental issues within Saudi society.

Lebanese interior minister vows high levels of cooperation with UNIFIL
BEIRUT: Lebanon's Interior Minister Ahmad Hajjar emphasized his country's commitment to cooperating with the UN peacekeeping mission, particularly 'during this critical phase.' Hajjar's comments were made during a meeting with Gen. Aroldo Lazaro Saenz, the head of mission and force commander of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL. In a significant development, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday named Maj. Gen. Diodato Abagnara to succeed Lazaro. Guterres expressed his gratitude to Lazaro for his dedication and leadership of UNIFIL during a particularly challenging period the mission has faced. Under UN Security Council Resolution 1701, the number of UNIFIL troops was increased from 200 to 15,000 following the 2006 war. The number of peacekeepers was eventually reduced to 10,058, made up of troops from 50 countries. The UN Security Council is scheduled to discuss the renewal of UNIFIL's mandate on Aug. 31, amid increasing calls to restructure the peacekeepers' role and responsibilities to better align with the current situation in southern Lebanon since the ceasefire agreement. During the conflict between the Israeli army and Hezbollah, which lasted from October 2023 until a ceasefire agreement was reached in November 2024, UNIFIL faced a series of targeted attacks from Israel. The Israeli government accused UNIFIL of 'failing to carry out its duties in the area of deployment.' UNIFIL also came under Hezbollah fire during the Israeli ground offensive. Incidents of UNIFIL patrols being intercepted and even attacked by residents in towns within their area of deployment increased. These incidents occurred under the pretext that the forces were 'not accompanied by the Lebanese Army,' despite UNIFIL's assertion that 'all its patrols are coordinated with the army.' Additionally, Hezbollah seemed to have a role in these civilian interceptions. During his meeting with Lazaro, Hajjar reaffirmed the ongoing cooperation between the Lebanese state and the international forces stationed south of the Litani River in implementing Resolution 1701 in all its provisions. Hajjar during the meeting underlined Lebanon's commitment to the highest levels of cooperation with the mission. Meanwhile, on Thursday, several Israeli army Hummer vehicles advanced toward the orchards of Al-Wazzani town, where they remained for some time before withdrawing. Later, the Israeli forces launched seven mortar shells at the western outskirts of Al-Wazzani. Specialized units of the Lebanese army moved and detonated a missile left behind by previous Israeli air raids in the Marjayoun region of southern Lebanon.
