As of today, CENTCOM forces have redirected 84 commercial vessels and disabled 4.

I'm not going to walk away.

I must serve the people who voted me into office.

Iran will not abandon its firm and principled positions on ending the war and securing the rights of the Iranian nation; Iran's blocked assets must definitely be returned to the Iranian people transparently and definitively, and paper promises are of no use.

Despite some promises, there is disagreement about the return of the blocked funds.

However, despite talk of something called a "development and reconstruction fund," the Americans are far from Iran's demands regarding its amount and some other issues.

The Americans must understand that Iran will under no circumstances agree to end the war in exchange for nuclear commitments.

If Iran surrenders, admits their Navy is gone and resting at the bottom of the sea, and their Air Force is no longer with us, and if their entire Military walks out of Tehran, weapons dropped and hands held high, each shouting “I surrender, I surrender” while wildly waving the representative White Flag, and if their entire remaining Leadership signs all necessary “Documents of Surrender,” and admit their defeat to the great power and force of the magnificent U.S.A., The Failing New York Times, The China Street Journal (WSJ!), Corrupt and now Irrelevant CNN, and all other members of the Fake News Media, will headline that Iran had a Masterful and Brilliant Victory over The United States of America, it wasn’t even close.

The Dumacrats and Media have totally lost their way. They have gone absolutely CRAZY!!!

New York judge Gregory Carro ruled that prosecutors can use a gun and notebook recovered from Luigi Mangione’s backpack as evidence in his murder trial connected to the killing of Brian Thompson.

However, the judge also ruled that several items found during the initial search of the backpack, including a gun magazine, cellphone, passport, wallet, and computer chip, must be excluded because they were recovered before investigators obtained a search warrant.

Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all state and federal charges. His New York state murder trial is scheduled to begin on September 8, while jury selection in his federal stalking case is set for October 13.

I'm a huge admirer of the innovation coming out of Israel. I think objectively that Israel punches far above its weight for a population.

My hat is off to Israel for just how much incredible innovation... I say innovation per capita, Israel must be number one by far in the world.

The official also pushed back on reports that Washington had agreed to ease sanctions, saying, “No sanctions relief will happen for free” without reciprocal steps from Tehran.

“We are really not making a lot of progress. We need some real, sturdy, and granular conversation [regarding the nuclear program],” the official said, adding, "If that’s not going to happen, we will have a conversation through bombs, which will be a shame.”

10 years from now, probably 19% of all distance driven will be driven by the AI in a self-driving car. So, overwhelmingly, it will be quite a niche thing in 10 years to actually be driving your own car because the car will drive you.

I think there will also be humanoid robots that are pretty much everywhere.

I think it will be pretty cool because who wouldn't want their own personal C-3PO and R2-D2, but even better than that? I think everyone's going to want one, maybe two.

In just a few months, the same country that has cut around 18 billion in global health and development aid has spent more than 29 billion on a war.

Iran must no longer pose a threat to its neighbors. It must never be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons.

Its ballistic missile program and its policies that fuel instability and conflict across the region must be stopped.

If Turkey aspires to join the European Union, it will find a friendly and reliable partner in Germany.

At the same time, the Copenhagen criteria — namely democracy, the rule of law, and human rights — remain essential conditions that must be fulfilled in order to join the EU.

Turkey's exclusion from the EU’s defense and security initiatives contradicts the security objectives that Europe has set for itself.
