The memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the United States and Iran includes a 60-day ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, according to a copy of the text obtained by Military Times. It also paves the way for sanctions relief and a $300 billion reconstruction incentive for the Islamic Republic – contingent upon a final deal being agreed. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance electronically signed the accord Sunday, ahead of a formal ceremony scheduled for Friday in Switzerland. Vance is expected to lead the American delegation alongside special envoy Steve Witkoff and the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The agreement leaves the most difficult points of contention between Washington and Tehran – such as the fate of Iran’s nuclear program – to the next phase of negotiations.Trump, speaking at the Group of Seven summit in France on Wednesday, warned that any Iranian violation of the terms would spark a renewed U.S. military campaign. “If they don’t behave, we’ll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head,” the commander-in-chief told reporters.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! When “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg called to “change the regime” during a Wednesday discussion on Iran, she and her initially confused co-hosts had to clarify that she was referring to the Trump administration and not Iranian leadership.”What’s also interesting is it’s reported that [Secretary of State] Marco Rubio and [Secretary of War] Pete Hegseth have opposed this deal,” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said during the segment in response to the U.S. potentially reaching a peace agreement with Iran following the three-month conflict. “So that to me shows that these are even people that are hardliners against the regime that don’t think it’s effective.” “What are [they] going to do about it though?” co-host Joy Behar asked. “They can’t stop it. It’s up to the president,” Griffin replied. “So it’s useless,” Behar said.”Well, you know, the only way to stop this is to change the regime,” Goldberg said. “Right,” Behar said. “That’s not happening.”WHY TRUMP, IRAN SEEM LIGHT-YEARS APART ON ANY POSSIBLE DEAL TO END THE WAR “Well, but I believe it’s going to happen because Americans, you know, we know we have to pay for stuff we don’t like,” Goldberg said. “People…

The U.S. Air Force now requires chaplains to wear the chaplain rank insignia and allows pregnant airmen to sport a maternity wrap dress.The service released the chaplain uniform update in accordance with the March Department of Defense guidance on military chaplain uniform reform, according to a Wednesday release.“Effective immediately, but no later than 30 days from the date of this memorandum, Department of the Air Force Chaplains will wear the chaplain insignia in lieu of officer rank insignia on the chest of the Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) uniform,” the memo, dated June 15, reads.The memo first circulated on the unofficial Air Force Facebook page Air Force amn/nco/snco on the day of its signing. An Air Force spokesperson confirmed the authenticity of the memo to Military Times on Wednesday.Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced in March that military chaplains would display symbols of their faith instead of rank insignia, saying that “A chaplain is first and foremost a chaplain and an officer second. This change is a visual representation of that fact.” Before this policy switch, a chaplain wore their rank insignia alongside a symbol of their faith.The Air Force’s move to comply with the policy comes a week after the…

The Russian Foreign Ministry has said that Kiev’s drones are “hunting civilians, especially children.” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova has made the claim while responding to a Ukrainian drone strike in Russia’s Bryansk Region, which targeted a bus carrying a children’s soccer team from Belarus. Russia has long been accusing Ukraine of using terrorism in the war. Putin: Ukraine Attack On LNG Tanker Was An Act Of Terrorism War Ramps Up: Russia Accuses Ukraine Of a Terrorist Attack “This is yet another terrorist attack by the Kiev regime, which is hunting civilians, especially children,” the spokeswoman stated. Russia’s human rights commissioner, Yana Lantratova, agreed with Zakharova’s statement, saying that the attack was a war crime under international humanitarian law, noting that “defenseless people… children” had been targeted. The attack killed an adult woman who was accompanying the underage passengers and injured six others, including four children, according to local governor Egor Kovalchuk. There were 44 people, including 28 children, on the bus that was targeted. Accoridng to a report by RT, Belarus also commented on the “extremist” and “terrorist” activity of Ukraine. While commenting on the incident, Belarusian lawmaker Oleg Gaidukevich, deputy chairman of the parliament’s international affairs committee, said the…

The U.S. Men’s National Team had arguably the most impressive performance of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in its opening game against Paraguay last week.Winning the match was one thing, but how it played out was another. After years of frustrating, slow soccer, the USMNT played a brand of free-flowing, attacking football based on impressively accurate passing and relentless movement up the pitch.Much of the credit goes to the players; Chris Richards had an incredible 100% accuracy rate on his passes, Folarin Balogun had several outstanding finishes, Malik Tillman was a consistent force, Christian Pulisic had a dominant first half, and Antonee Robinson made highlight-reel moves to get free. But the rest of the credit has been deservedly placed on manager Mauricio Pochettino. After an often shaky start to his tenure leading the USMNT, the performance against Paraguay was a complete repudiation of his critics and validation of his tactics and managerial style. Most USMNT fans were struck by the sense that they’d never seen a U.S. team play with that style, that successfully.US EARNS HISTORIC WIN IN WORLD CUP OPENER AFTER BEATDOWN OF PARAGUAY AS THE LEGEND OF FOLARIN BALOGUN IS BORNAnd with several other top teams, like Brazil…

Open this season of the video game “Battlefield 6,” and you might find yourself dropping into a firefight as one of the Strix Raiders, the special operations team at the center of the shooter’s “Nightfall” update. What most players sprinting across the map won’t know is that three of those characters are built from real Marines, and that the men behind the motion capture have spent the years since their service trying to keep other veterans alive. Prime Hall, Don Tran and Rick Briere served together in the 1st Marine Raider Battalion. In the game, they appear as Rob Brooke, Douglas Pham and Atticus Moore. Out of it, they are business partners, nonprofit founders and, by their own account, brothers who have buried too many friends.For Hall, the throughline from combat to civilian life is simple to name. “It takes a village,” he said. He frames it the way a Raider would. In a fight, you want 360-degree security. After service, he said, that security becomes “your perimeter of the relationships and the people that you have in your life.”That perimeter matters because the landing is rough. Hall enlisted in 2005 and was medically retired in 2017 after an insider…

One of the quirkier pieces in the latest passel of Civivi product announcements is the Squib. It’s a cute little flipper with a stout build and a lot of character. You can’t call a knife the “Squib” and then making it some massive tactical piece. Certain words bring certain connotations, and “Squib” does not evoke images of 4.5-inch bladed monstrosities. In fact, when coming to matching name to knife, Civivi did a bang-up job here, as the Squib’s lighthearted appearance – lightheartedness that’s built on solid working knife principles and doesn’t impeded its utility – fits its name like the proverbial glove. The Micarta Squib has a standout color scheme 2.28 inches: that’s the length of the Squib’s blade, and an adequate amount of edge for a large swathe of daily cutting jobs. A sizable finger choil underneath the edge lets users choke up for more control over an already highly maneuverable blade. This cute-looking, snubby spear point blade offers both a thumb stud and a flipper for deployment. The Nitro-V used here (and in a fair number of the Squib’s Civivi siblings) checks all the requisite boxes for a budget-friendly EDC blade steel. Looking at it as a wireframe,…

Africa’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention has said that the current Ebola outbreak of the Bundibugyo strain could be the worst one in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC or DR Congo) history. So far, more than 830 cases of the rare strain have been confirmed, and right now, there is no proven treatment or vaccine. Of those cases, 196 proved fatal. This outbreak is likely to be more widespread than reported cases, as conflicts and displacement make it difficult for healthcare officials to track and trace. “People Are Hiding” During Ebola Outbreak, Making Containment Difficult “If we don’t stop the outbreak very soon, it will be worse than what we had in West Africa and eastern DRC,” Africa CDC Director-General Jean Kaseya told a virtual meeting of African heads of state and donors in Burundi. Ebola is not airborne. It is transmitted through body fluids even after death, and is spreading fast across three provinces in the Democratic Republic of Congo, government data shows. The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) agrees with Kaseya’s assessment. It referred to the outbreak that affected Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone from 2014 to 2016, which killed more than…
