A draft framework for a potential comprehensive agreement between Iran and the United States is circulating among negotiating parties, according to multiple regional sources briefed on the talks. If finalized, the proposal would mark the most significant diplomatic step since the Pakistan-brokered ceasefire that halted nearly six weeks of war—a conflict that began on Feb. 28 with Israel’s killing of then-supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a joint attack on high-ranking officials and vital sites across Iran. - snip - The draft framework, as described to Amwaj.media by Arab and Iranian sources, includes an end to hostilities on all fronts,...

The regime in Iran is lying to you and your negotiators (period, stop!). Do not believe a word they say. I know you want to get out of this mess. All Americans want this unnecessary war to end. Keep in mind, as you have been told many times, Iran is still the leading state sponsor of terrorism (all anyone needs to say is Hezbollah, Hamas & Houthis, never mind IRGC-QF). None of these organizations are going away with this deal. How about getting them to first publicly apologize for killing American Soldiers and U.S. Marines many times over (especially on...

A man on trial for killing a first-year university student has denied a charge of manslaughter. Vickrum Digwa is accused at Southampton Crown Court of the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak, from Chafford Hundred, Essex, in Belmont Road, Southampton, on December 3 2025. The 23-year-old is also charged with carrying a knife in public and his mother, Kiran Kaur, 53, is accused of assisting an offender by removing a weapon from the scene. The court has heard that Digwa was carrying a kirpan – a religious knife – with a 21cm blade which the prosecution says caused five stab wounds...

Heart-stopping footage captured the moment a plane smashed through a paraglider’s canopy midair, sending a woman spiraling through the sky screaming before she miraculously landed safely on the ground. The paraglider, a 44-year-old woman named Sabrina, posted footage of her flying near the scenic Schmittenhöhe mountain in northern Austria Saturday afternoon when a small sightseeing plane suddenly plows right through her rig — just feet above her head.

Today's video investigates the absurdities of the policies, and how they lead to inefficiencies both domestic and international. We then try to understand why autocratic governments nonetheless offer subsidies despite knowing all of their drawbacks. Turkmenistan prior to 2019? Free natural gas for everyone. Great. But it gave rise to the saying, "A Turkman does not turn off his stove because then he will have to pay for matches." Hence why I had to add the prior to 2019 qualifier there because that policy sure as heck was not sustainable.

Charlotte Heimann, a 27-year-old mother with ties to Clermont County, Ohio, disappeared on Oct. 30, 1981, after leaving the Rochester Psychiatric Center in New York. More than four decades later, her granddaughter, Shyla Jump, is working to uncover what happened. "I didn’t actually know the story behind it. I didn’t actually know my grandmother. I didn’t know who she was until now," Jump said. Charlotte left her 4-year-old daughter, Jump’s mother, with her own mother in Ohio while she moved to New York to be closer to her father and attend Monroe College. Records and family accounts describe Charlotte's struggles...

Kenyon stood in the constituency (district) in the 2024 general election, and came second to Labour's Josh Simons. The by-election comes after Simons stepped down as MP to allow Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham an opportunity to contest the seat. @RobKenyonReform For me, Makerfield isn’t a stepping stone. It’s my home. The people here are my neighbours, friends & family. I took @Nigel_Farage out in my van to show him the places that matter to me. We chatted rugby league...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized President Donald Trump on Monday after his administration announced a $1.776 billion fund to compensate people who say they were wrongly targeted by federal investigations, saying the move goes beyond Trump's pardons of supporters convicted in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack. "Trump didn't just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol," Clinton wrote on X. "He's now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars. You could not make this up."

The media has an odd term for the sullen young women who have made a sexual fetish of pretty-boy killer Luigi Mangione. They’re called Luigi Fangirls. It evokes a frolic, young women skipping down the street, singing, holding hands. You know, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” But I much prefer another name, a more direct name: Witches. I’m told that witches are supposedly fictional, a phobia created by men, by the patriarchy, to impose our evil will upon women who cling to stories like “The Handmaid’s Tale,” to justify generations of their cruelties upon boys, from wholesale abortion to “gender...

President Donald Trump reignited debate over Greenland on Saturday after posting an image to Truth Social showing himself peering over snow-covered mountains toward the Arctic island territory with the caption: "Hello Greenland." The post comes amid heightened tensions between Greenlanders and the Trump administration following the opening of a new U.S. consulate in Nuuk and a controversial visit by Trump ally and Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry. HUNDREDS of demonstrators gathered outside the new American diplomatic mission on Friday, chanting "Greenland is for Greenlanders" and protesting what many viewed as renewed U.S. pressure over the strategically located territory. Protest organizer Aqqalukkuluk...

Multiple sources confirmed to Fox News Digital the male gunman who allegedly opened fire with a pistol Saturday near the White House in Washington, D.C., and was fatally shot by the U.S. Secret Service, has been identified as Nasire Best, 21, of Maryland.

Best, who allegedly had prior encounters with the Secret Service and a history of mental health issues, fired about...

This Tiger has turned tail. The pot-puffing, rump-shaking homeless man called Tiger who turned Sullivan Street in Greenwich Village into his own private lair was cleared out by city authorities this week after The Post exposed his chaotic antics. The vagrant, who affixed a stuffed tiger’s tail to his behind, was evicted Saturday from his luxe encampment — which included a bed, couch, side table, and books.

The altercation unfolded after a female guest of the hotel, who is allegedly a dual citizen of Israel, confronted the employee after he said “Free Palestine” as the couple exited the lobby, according...

@Nigel_Farage The Times have just released a new poll for the Makerfield by-election by Survation. Robert Kenyon is the only candidate who can stop Andy Burnham. This is a two horse race - nobody else comes close.

Our police are meant to police without fear or favour, but there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that they don’t – think of how they hold, or too often do not hold, the ring impartially between supporters of Israel and Palestine, Muslim and Christian preachers, supporters and opponents of trans rights, or whatever. Does all this matter? The Nowak case, with an obvious victim, shows clearly that it does There is a tendency for the great and the good to say this is no very big deal; the police are doing their best in difficult situations, complainants are normally tiresome...

My family leased a Kia EV9 and a Hyundai Ioniq 5. It shows your mileage may vary in even the most critically acclaimed electric cars. ...“Later that day” ended up taking much longer. The service center did not have the car ready until the end of the day on January 9, 2026, nearly a month after I brought it in.
