Iran was behind two assassination attempts on President Trump, Israeli PM Netanyahu claims in bombshell interview
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Iran Sunday of orchestrating the two failed assassination attempts on President Trump during his third presidential campaign last year. Netanyahu characterized Trump as the greatest threat to Iran and its ambitions for acquiring a nuclear weapon — claiming that's why the rogue regime tried to murder him, in a shocking moment during an interview with Brett Baier of Fox News. 4 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu makes a bombshell claim that Iran was behind President Trump's assassination attempts. Fox News Advertisement 'These people who chant, 'Death to America,' tried to assassinate President Trump twice,' Netanyahu said as he was making his case to the American people for launching attacks on Iran amid the Islamic republic and Israel's deadly exchange of missiles over the weekend. 'Do you want these people to have nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them to your cities?' Netanyahu asked. 'Of course not. So we're defending ourselves, but we're also defending the world.' Baier seemed taken aback by Netanyahu's comments and asked the prime minister to expand on the incendiary accusation. Advertisement 'You just said Iran tried to assassinate President Trump twice,' the Fox News anchor said. 'Do you have intel that the assassination attempts on President Trump were directly from Iran?' 'Through proxies, yes,' Netanyahu replied. 'Through their intel, yes. They want to kill him.' 4 In a speech in September, Trump suggested that Iran was behind his assassination attempts during the 2024 presidential campaign KENNY HOLSTON/POOL/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock American security agencies have never tied the two assassination attempts to the rogue regime, but in a speech in September, Trump suggested Iran was behind them. Advertisement Iranian leadership has steadfastly denied any involvement. Netanyahu then joked about how Trump wasn't the only one they targeted – but stressed that he was the regime's number one adversary. 'Look, they also tried to kill me, but I'm his junior partner. They understand that President Trump is a great threat to Iran's plans to weaponize nuclear weapons and use them,' he said. 4 The Iranian regime is a longtime adversary of the US. AP Advertisement In November, the feds accused an unnamed agent from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard of recruiting Farhad Shakeri, 51, to 'focus on surveilling, and, ultimately, assassinating' Trump, adding that money was not an issue. Trump survived assassination attempts twice in the summer of 2024 while campaigning for president. 4 Israel launched a strike against Iran last week in an attempt to stop its nuclear ambitions. REUTERS On September 15, authorities arrested Ryan Routh, who was armed with a semi-automatic rifle, at the Trump International Golf Club. Just a month before, at a campaign event in Butler, Pa, Trump narrowly avoided death when a gunman's bullet whizzed by his head, clipping his ear. 'The doctor at the hospital said he never saw anything like this, he called it a miracle,' Trump told the Post last July. 'I'm not supposed to be here, I'm supposed to be dead.' Thomas Matthew Crooks, an engineering student who took the shot and missed, was killed by a Secret Service sniper. Routh tied himself to Crooks in a bizarre four-page letter from jail in which he condemned America's 'two-party system.'

USA routs Trinidad and Tobago 5-0 in Gold Cup opener, snaps four-game losing streak
The U.S. men's national team dominated Trinidad and Tobago in its opening Gold Cup match on Sunday, cruising to a decisive 5-0 win. Malik Tillman and Patrick Agyemang combined for three goals before halftime, while Brenden Aaronson and Haji Wright came off the bench to add two more in the second. The strong and relentless performance by a young American squad was a complete 180-degree turn from the way the group looked over the last week in consecutive losses to Turkiye and Switzerland, which drew mounds of public criticism. While Trinidad and Tobago wasn't exactly the same caliber opponent, this is exactly how the U.S. wanted to begin tournament play. Here are takeaways from the match: McGlynn, Luna making early World Cup cases Jack McGlynn and Diego Luna, two midfielders who have already been bright spots for this team so far this calendar year, are certainly endearing themselves further to Pochettino and his staff. Sunday, Luna had two assists and should have scored in the first half. On the second goal in the 41st minute, Luna found himself alone streaking down the left wing. Rather than take a shot himself, he slipped a pinpoint pass to a streaking Tillman, who nailed the ball into the back of the net. On the third goal, Luna's shot deflected off Agyemang and bounced past goalkeeper Marvin Phillip. McGlynn, meanwhile, continually found himself in dangerous areas and was creative in the final third. Leading up to this match – and dating back to the Concacaf Nations League Finals in March – the USMNT struggled to finish. That wasn't an issue on Sunday, like on this opening goal in the first 15 minutes when McGlynn chipped the ball across the mouth of the goal to Tillman. Solid performance in goal by Freese Pochettino opted to play Matt Freese in goal over Matt Turner in the USMNT's first Gold Cup match. The manager had said he trusted Turner, but wanted to give Freese, who had one cap entering this game, more experience. While Trinidad and Tobago didn't threaten often – the USMNT out shot its opponent 21-3, 11-2 in shots on goal – Freese needed to spring into action a few times and was successful. Like on this early chance in the second half. Can we expect Pochettino to rotate goalkeepers throughout the Gold Cup? We'll see who he starts later this week when the U.S. faces Saudi Arabia in its second match. What's next for the USMNT? The Americans will travel to Austin where they'll face Saudi Arabia on Thursday, June 19 (9:15 p.m. ET on FOX) at Q2 Stadium. The Saudis, who are in the middle of 2026 World Cup qualifying, could prove to be a stiffer test for the U.S. than Trinidad and Tobago turned out to be. The team is led by manager Herve Renard, who was the squad's coach at the 2022 World Cup when it pulled off a massive group stage upset over eventual champion Argentina. The last time these nations met was the USMNT's final tune-up match before the 2022 World Cup and they tied 0-0 in Murica, Spain.

J.J. Spaun completes unreal comeback to win first US Open championship
It's not how you start, but how you finish for J.J. Spaun in an incredible comeback at the U.S. Open. The 34-year-old American bogeyed five of the first six holes to open his final round at Oakmont, but birdied four of the final nine to win his first major championship on Sunday. He made a long, electrifying birdie on 18 to seal the win at 1-under. J.J. Spaun after putting in for birdie on the 17th hole during the final round of the U.S. Open golf tournament at Oakmont Country Club Sunday, June 15, 2025 AP He's never had a top-20 finish at a major before this and his last win in any event came three years ago. Spaun took the lead with a birdie on No. 17 with Robert MacIntyre already in the clubhouse at 1-over. His auspicious start included an approach shot that hit the flag stick on the second hole, only to see it roll off the green, which led to a bogey.
