Senators Cory Booker and Ted Cruz engaged in a fiery exchange during a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on threats to federal judges. As Cruz accused Democrats of remaining silent during threats against conservative justices, Booker pushed back, calling the remarks “dangerous” and a “patent lie.” The tense back-and-forth highlighted rising political divisions over judicial safety, enforcement of protest laws, and the legacy of Trump-era rhetoric. The hearing, titled "The Supposedly Least Dangerous Branch," underscored growing concerns about the politicization of the judiciary and partisan responses to violence and intimidation.

Iran's Parliament has voted to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, branding it a "spy tool" of Western powers. The IRGC’s Sepah News confirmed the vote amid fiery debates and nationalistic sloganeering. Iranian leaders accuse the IAEA of siding with the U.S. and Israel, endangering national sovereignty. Supreme Leader Khamenei declared a "decisive victory" over Western pressure, while Russia’s Foreign Minister warned the IAEA to maintain neutrality. As Tehran escalates its stance, tensions over nuclear transparency and geopolitical influence deepen.

Iran on Wednesday admitted that U.S. and Israeli strikes caused severe damage to its nuclear facilities, validating President Trump’s claim of “complete obliteration.” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei confirmed “significant damage” while refusing to share specifics. In retaliation, Iran’s Parliament fast-tracked a bill suspending cooperation with the IAEA. Despite destruction, Iran vowed to continue its nuclear program.

India has crossed 7,000 active COVID-19 cases, with Kerala reporting the highest spike and three new deaths. The XFG variant, a sub-lineage of Omicron with strong immune evasion, has been detected across the country, raising global alarm. Originating in Canada, the variant carries four spike protein mutations. Globally, SARS-CoV-2 activity is rising, especially in South-East Asia and Eastern Mediterranean regions, with test positivity rates matching last year’s peak.

Canada has officially scrapped its controversial 3% Digital Services Tax after former U.S. President Donald Trump halted all trade talks and threatened new tariffs. The tax, set to target tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Meta, faced intense U.S. backlash. Finance Minister Champagne said rescinding the tax is essential to reviving stalled negotiations. Ottawa had previously vowed not to yield, but with over 80% of Canadian exports reliant on the U.S., the rollback clears the way for renewed talks ahead of a July 21, 2025 deadline.
