Iran has summoned the British charge d’affaires in Tehran to protest the arrest of several Iranian nationals in the UK, calling the detentions unjustified, evidence-less, and politically motivated. Tehran accused London of violating international law and denying consular access to its citizens. The arrests were made under the Terrorism Act, but all four detainees were later released. Iran holds the UK responsible for any fallout from this move. Ongoing investigations and searches continue across various cities in Britain, escalating diplomatic tensions between Tehran and London.

President Trump has revealed that Iran received a fresh U.S. proposal for a new nuclear agreement. Urging swift action, Trump warned Tehran to “move quickly” or face serious consequences. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stressed the urgency, citing Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile—just a short step from weapons-grade levels. With four rounds of backchannel talks in Oman and increasing pressure from Congress, the stakes are high. Trump claims Iran has “sort of agreed,” promising a future without “nuclear dust”—but Republicans are demanding a tougher stance.

A deadly car bombing outside a California fertility clinic killed one person and injured four others. Authorities believe the suspect, Guy Edward Bartkus, 25, died in the blast he detonated. The FBI is investigating the attack as an act of terrorism, citing Bartkus’ anti-natalist ideology. A 30-minute audio recording, social media activity, and possible manifesto point to a planned strike against pro-birth institutions. The powerful explosion damaged buildings for blocks and is now one of the largest domestic terrorism cases in Southern California.

A firestorm erupts after former FBI Director James Comey's beach photo featuring “8647” seashells goes viral. Trump allies claim the numbers are a coded call to assassinate Donald Trump — with “86” meaning “to kill” and “47” referencing Trump as the 47th president. Conservative activist Laura Loomer slams Amazon and Jeff Bezos for selling “8647”-branded caps, calling them “assassination gear.” Comey denies the allegations, but MAGA influencers aren’t buying it.
