Tehran denies Trump’s claim of meeting in Doha

United States President Donald Trump claims Iran has “requested a meeting” following the exchange of strikes last week, and says it will take place in Qatar today.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry denies any planned meeting with the US but says it will send an expert delegation to Doha to follow up on the release of frozen Iranian funds.
Trump lashes out at fuel retailers over high prices
The US president is once again demanding petrol stations and other fuel retailers lower their prices immediately in response to the fall in oil prices.

In an apparent threat, Trump warned retailers that “big problems lie ahead” if they do not start charging customers less.

“Gasoline Retailers must get their Prices down, IMMEDIATELY! They’re too high considering that Oil is now at $68 a Barrel, and heading south,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

“The Retailers must quickly react to this statement, and do what they know is right — DROP YOUR PRICE FOR OUR GREAT AMERICAN PEOPLE! There will be no gauging, which is totally illegal. If Retailers don’t do this, big problems lie ahead!”

Oil prices surged at the outset of the US-Israeli war on Iran after Tehran closed the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20 percent of the world’s energy supplies usually flowed. Prices have since declined in response to the US-Iran MoU and the possibility of a final deal between Washington and Tehran being reached.
US lawmaker calls for an end to ‘US-backed war crimes’ in Lebanon
Rashida Tlaib, a Democratic congresswoman, says she will force another vote in Congress to end US involvement in Israeli “apartheid regime’s campaign of ethnic cleansing and territorial expansion” in Lebanon.

“Congress must vote to end US support for these atrocities and force an end to Israel’s invasion and illegal military occupation of Lebanese territory,” she wrote on X.

“Over 4,250 people have been massacred. Twelve children are killed or maimed every day as these US-backed war crimes continue,” she added.
