‘You Will NOT Succeed…’ U.S Press Secretary’s BLASTS ‘Illegal Alliens’ | LA Riots | Anti-ICE Protest

During a fiery White House press briefing, Fox News correspondent Alexandria Hoff pressed Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt with a provocative question: “Does the president see himself as a king?” Hoff was referencing the upcoming “No Kings Day” protest planned for Trump’s birthday military parade, aimed at criticizing ICE raids and authoritarian optics. Leavitt, unfazed, dismissed the premise as “absurd” and reaffirmed Trump’s respect for the Constitution. She also slammed Democrats for politicizing American symbols and defended the parade as a “celebration of freedom, not royalty.” #TrumpPressBriefing #KarolineLeavitt #NoKingsDay #FoxNews #AlexandriaHoff #TrumpMilitaryParade #WhiteHouseDrama #ICEProtests #AmericanFlag #KingTrump #PoliticalSatire #FirstAmendment #MediaFireworks #WashingtonProtests #ReporterVsPressSec #FreePress #ConstitutionalDebate #TrumpBirthdayEvent #RightToProtest #USPolitics #oneindianews #oneindiaenglish #breakingnews #worldnews #englishnewslive #englishnews #latestnews #news ~HT.410~ED.194~

Los Angeles BURNS: Trump’s 700 Marines, 2,000 Guardsmen Flood LA Streets; Governor Newsom Fumes

As Los Angeles erupts in chaos over Trump’s immigration enforcement crackdown, the White House has deployed 700 U.S. Marines and 2,000 additional National Guard troops to the city — all without California Governor Gavin Newsom’s consent. The dramatic military surge, aimed at quelling violent protests and protecting federal property, has ignited a fierce legal and political battle. Governor Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta have launched a lawsuit against what they call a “dictatorial overreach,” accusing Trump of violating state sovereignty. #LAProtest #LosAngelesRiots #NationalGuardLA #TrumpVsNewsom #AntiTrumpProtest #USProtestLive #LARiots2025 #LosAngelesNews #CaliforniaRiots #ProtestsInLA #LAPDResponse #LAUnrest #ImmigrationRaidsProtest #MarinesInLA #ICEProtests #KarenBassOnTrump #NewsomVsTrump #TrumpNationalGuard #LosAngelesProtest #FederalTroopsLA

Iran ROARS Back After US-EU 'Provocation' | Tehran Vows ‘FIRM RESPONSE’ Over IAEA Nuclear Pressure

Iran has condemned a “provocative” IAEA resolution backed by the U.S., France, the UK, and Germany, escalating nuclear tensions. Tehran insists its uranium enrichment is for peaceful purposes, warning of a "firm response" if pressured further. Amid five rounds of indirect U.S.-Iran talks in Oman, Tehran is preparing a counterproposal, rejecting the current U.S. offer for lacking sanctions relief. As Western allies push for a halt, Iran stands firm, with Supreme Leader Khamenei calling enrichment rights “nonnegotiable.” The next round of talks is set for June 15 in Muscat. #Iran #NuclearDeal #USIranTalks #IAEA #EnrichmentRights #IranNuclear #MiddleEastTensions #Tehran #Diplomacy #USForeignPolicy #France #UK #Germany #IranSanctions #IranNews #MuscatTalks #Khamenei #AbbasAraghchi #Geopolitics #GlobalSecurity #UraniumEnrichment #CivilNuclearUse #OmanTalks #Trump #WhiteHouse #IranVsWest #NonProliferation #IranUpdate #NuclearCrisis #SanctionsRelief #PeacefulEnrichment Also Read Princess Iman Pahlavi, Granddaughter of Iran’s Last Shah, Marries Her Jewish Partner in Paris Ceremony :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/princess-iman-pahlavi-granddaughter-of-iran-s-last-shah-marries-her-jewish-partner-in-paris-ceremo-4176431.html?ref=DMDesc Sobhan Samadi: Shaping The Future Of Trading Talent In Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/partner-content/sobhan-samadi-shaping-the-future-of-trading-talent-in-iran-4173375.html?ref=DMDesc Three Indians Reported Missing In Iran; Embassy Coordinates Search Efforts :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/three-indians-reported-missing-in-iran-embassy-coordinates-search-efforts-4166117.html?ref=DMDesc

Germany Prepares for World War III: Big Bunker Expansion, €10B Defense Push, Alarming 2029 Deadline

Germany is ramping up civil defense efforts like never before, with officials warning the country must be "ready for war" by 2029. From underground garages and metro tunnels turning into bunkers to emergency siren upgrades and wartime hospital prep, Berlin is preparing for the unthinkable—a direct confrontation with Russia. Civil defense chief Ralph Tiesler has called for at least €10 billion by the end of the decade, as military spending soars and public fear rises. But is this genuine preparedness or fear-fueled militarization?
