Interim US-Iran deal leaves the thorniest issue still to be negotiated: Tehran’s nuclear program

WASHINGTON (AP) — The interim deal between the U.S. and Iran is supposed to usher in a two-month period that would address the most divisive issue between the longtime adversaries — Tehran's nuclear program. Preventing Iran from attaining a nuclear bomb is a key reason that President Donald Trump said he launched the war alongside Israel in February, but the tentative agreement he has trumpeted leaves little runway to negotiate the long-running sticking point. The previous nuclear pact between Iran and world powers, which Trump pulled the U.S. from in his first term, took many months to negotiate. There’s deep skepticism among Republican and Democratic lawmakers and others that the deal would have any effect on nuclear talks.

Trump to wrap G7 summit facing skepticism at home and jitters overseas over his plan to end Iran war

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AP) — President Donald Trump wraps up talks at the Group of Seven summit, promoting an emerging agreement with Iran to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons. The deal’s specifics remain unclear, and Trump faces skepticism from allies like Israel. The agreement is set to be signed Friday in Switzerland. Trump plans to meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday amid tensions over a recent U.S. military strike near the Strait of Hormuz that killed three Indian sailors. Before wrapping his visit to France, Trump will also meet Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi and attend a dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron at Versailles.

World Cup what to know: Ronaldo looks to make history by scoring in 6th World Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo looks to make history by becoming the first player to score a goal in six World Cups when Portugal meets Congo on Wednesday. The 41-year-old Ronaldo has scored in each tournament dating to 2006. But some Portugal supporters have questioned whether the aging star will be a help or a detriment to the team. After scoring just once in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Ronaldo was upset after he subbed off against South Korea and benched for the club's first knockout-stage match against Switzerland.

The cost to overcome a Trump endorsement? $100 million. Plus more takeaways from Tuesday’s primaries

WASHINGTON (AP) — An endorsement from President Donald Trump is worth a lot in Republican primaries. But it's not foolproof, especially when there's a lot of money involved. Rick Jackson's campaign spent more than $100 million, largely out of his own pocket, to defeat Trump-endorsed Burt Jones in the Republican runoff for Georgia governor. It was another rare example of the president's choice falling short in a primary battle. Trump's efforts were more successful elsewhere. His candidate for U.S. Senate won a runoff in Alabama, and his pick for Oklahoma governor advanced to another runoff there. Four states and the District of Columbia held primaries Tuesday.

Georgia Republicans choose Collins for Senate and Jackson for governor, a mixed result for Trump

JACKSON, Ga. (AP) — Georgia Republicans delivered a split decision for Donald Trump in Tuesday runoffs. Voters opted for the president's preferred U.S. Senate candidate but rejected his choice for governor in favor of a billionaire first-time candidate who spent freely from his personal fortune to win the nomination. In the Senate race, 58-year-old Congressman Mike Collins topped former football coach Derek Dooley. He will face Sen. Jon Ossoff, the only Senate Democrat running for reelection in a state Trump won in 2024. For governor, 71-year-old healthcare tycoon Rick Jackson defeated Burt Jones, who is the current lieutenant governor. Jones had support from the president. Jackson will face Democratic nominee and former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms in November.

Robert White Jr. wins Democratic primary for the District of Columbia's delegate to Congress

WASHINGTON (AP) — Robert White Jr. has won the Democratic primary for the District of Columbia's delegate seat in Congress. He defeated challenger Brooke Pinto to replace 18-term representative Eleanor Holmes Norton who decided not to seek reelection. White, an at-large member of the D.C. council, is expected to win the seat in the general election in the heavily Democratic city. He will become the third delegate in the district's history. Norton faced heavy pressure to step down from critics who argued she didn't challenge the Trump administration strongly enough when it deployed the National Guard to the city, among other contentious actions.

Rex Heuermann to be sentenced in New York's Gilgo Beach serial killings

RIVERHEAD, N.Y. (AP) — A Long Island architect who lived a secret life as the Gilgo Beach serial killer is being sentenced in the deaths of eight women. Rex Heuermann faces life in prison without the possibility of parole when he goes before a judge Wednesday in Riverhead, New York. Heuermann admitted in April that he strangled the women, many of them sex workers, and dismembered some of their bodies before dumping them on a desolate parkway not far from Long Island's Gilgo Beach. Police began to suspect a possible serial killer in 2010 after discovering the remains of multiple victims along a remote beach parkway.

US strike on an alleged drug boat kills 1, leaves 2 survivors in the eastern Pacific Ocean

The U.S. military has attacked a boat accused of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing one man and leaving two survivors. Tuesday’s attack brings the number of people who have been killed in boat strikes by the U.S. military to at least 208 since the Trump administration began targeting those it calls “narcoterrorists†in early September. U.S. Southern Command did not provide evidence that the vessel was ferrying drugs. A video posted on X showed a boat traveling in the water before being hit by the strike and bursting into flames. Southern Command said it “immediately notified U.S. Coast Guard to activate the Search and Rescue system for the survivors.â€

B-52 was in the air a very short time before crashing and killing all 8 on board

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A B-52 that crashed during a test flight at Edwards Air Force Base in California was in the air a very short time before slamming into the ground about halfway down the runway. All eight people aboard were killed in Monday's fiery crash of the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress. The bomber took off shortly before noon on a clear day, heading southwest into the prevailing winds. It flew straight and crashed. The compact wreckage indicates the plane dropped sharply. It was taking part in a routine test mission as part of an overall program to keep the long-running aircraft flying for decades to come. Officials at Edwards Air Force Base said it could take up to six months to complete the investigation.
