Attorney Says Man Shot By ICE Did Not Try To Run Over Officers

By: Dianté Marigny An attorney for a man shot by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Patterson, California, says his client did not attempt to run over officers during an enforcement stop, disputing federal claims about the incident. Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez was wounded Tuesday when ICE agents fired during a traffic stop, and the Department of Homeland Security said agents acted in self-defense after he attempted to drive into them. His lawyer says Mendoza Hernandez panicked and tried to flee, and that he has no warrant or criminal record in the U.S. The shooting is now being investigated by the FBI. Dashcam footage released from the scene shows officers surrounding the vehicle before it moved, but it does not clearly show Mendoza Hernandez trying to hit agents.

Trump: US military to remain near Iran until 'real agreement' is met

By: Dianté Marigny President Donald Trump said all U.S. ships, aircraft, and military personnel, along with additional ammunition and weaponry, will stay in and around Iran until what he calls the “real agreement” is fully complied with. In a post on Truth Social, Trump warned, “If for any reason it is not… then the ‘Shootin’ starts,’ bigger, and better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before.” He emphasized that the deal requires no nuclear weapons and that the Strait of Hormuz will remain open and safe. Trump added that America’s military is “loading up and resting, looking forward to its next conquest.”

Iran ceasefire on edge amid new strikes on Lebanon

By: Dianté Marigny A fragile ceasefire in the Iran war is already showing signs of strain as disagreements persist over Lebanon and the Strait of Hormuz. Hours after the agreement was announced, Israel carried out intense airstrikes on Beirut, resulting in the deadliest day in the country since the conflict began. Meanwhile, Iran is accused of maintaining control over the Strait of Hormuz, with reports suggesting the waterway may have been mined. Diplomatic efforts continue, but tensions remain high in the region.

JD Vance and Steve Witkoff to head to Pakistan for peace talks

By: Dianté Marigny Vice President JD Vance will lead the U.S. delegation to Islamabad this weekend for peace negotiations with Iran, aimed at finding a permanent end to the ongoing conflict. The talks are scheduled to begin Saturday in Pakistan’s capital and come after a fragile ceasefire was agreed between Washington and Tehran. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Vance will be joined by senior officials including special envoy Steve Witkoff and presidential adviser Jared Kushner. The negotiations are expected to focus on solidifying terms of a lasting peace and addressing unresolved issues from the ceasefire deal. Pakistan has served as the host for the discussions, which follow weeks of diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region. Both sides are preparing for face-to-face talks that could shape the future of U.S.–Iran relations.

182 killed in Israeli strikes on central Beirut

By: Dianté Marigny At least 182 people were killed Wednesday as Israel carried out intense airstrikes in central Beirut, marking the deadliest single day in the ongoing Israel-Hezbollah conflict. Iranian officials say the ceasefire deal should include Lebanon, but Israel and the U.S. maintain it does not. The Lebanese Health Ministry reports another 890 people were wounded, bringing the total death toll to 1,739 and more than 5,800 injured since the war began.

Tensions rise as Strait of Hormuz closes again

By: Dianté Marigny Tensions in the Middle East have escalated again as Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route, in response to renewed Israeli strikes on Lebanon, raising doubts about the viability of a fragile ceasefire. Iranian state media reported that tanker traffic was halted after Israeli bombardments against Hezbollah positions, which Tehran described as violations of the emergency truce. The closure came just hours after a temporary ceasefire deal between the United States and Iran was announced, a pact that had included provisions for reopening the strait. The waterway, through which roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas flows, is vital to global energy markets; its closure has the potential to disrupt shipments and increase prices worldwide. Iran said it would only allow coordinated passage under its armed forces’ supervision, and it tied compliance to broader regional conditions, including the cessation of attacks in Lebanon. Israel, for its part, maintains the ceasefire does not cover its operations against Hezbollah and has continued military strikes.

US troops on standby as Iran closes Strait of Hormuz

By: Dianté Marigny U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says American troops are on standby and ready to resume operations if Iran fails to honor its commitments amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. The announcement comes as reports indicate Iran has once again closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli strikes on Lebanon. The crucial waterway handles a significant portion of the world’s oil shipments, and its closure has heightened global economic concerns. Officials say U.S. forces are closely monitoring the situation while awaiting diplomatic and military developments.
