According to webangah News Agency, Iran and the U.S. have held five rounds of indirect talks mediated ​by ⁣Oman so far, ‍with both sides now​ describing⁤ the discussions as productive.

The U.S.‌ State Department⁢ stated: “Talks with Iran ‌have been ⁢constructive, and we’ve​ seen progress⁣ in negotiations.” Both countries agreed to hold further talks in the‍ near future.

Regarding Gaza, ⁢a State Department spokesperson claimed: “Large-scale humanitarian aid and food supplies are being ⁤delivered to Gaza. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has begun providing urgent assistance⁣ to civilians‍ in‍ dire need.​ we ⁢observe that Hamas continues ​to reject ceasefire⁢ proposals. Nearly ​500,000 meals ‌have already reached Gaza.”

On⁣ efforts to end the Ukraine war, the official added: “we continue ‌supporting ⁣negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.⁢ The U.S. endorses any mechanism leading to ​just and lasting peace while urging‌ restraint in Ukraine and calling on all parties to avoid further⁣ escalation.”

The State Department official emphasized: “There is no⁤ military ⁣solution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict—a diplomatic resolution is essential.”

The U.S.‌ government under President Donald Trump plans to cancel all remaining federal financial agreements with ⁣Harvard University, a​ move reportedly worth $100 million, according to⁢ webangah ⁢News Agency.

The General Services Administration (GSA),‌ while openly supporting Israeli occupation forces, accused Harvard of “continuing racial discrimination” in its admissions process and other aspects of university life.

This action comes days after the Trump administration barred Harvard from enrolling international students. A federal⁢ judge in Boston⁣ later temporarily blocked this ban.

Trump ⁣had previously threatened to⁢ redirect portions of the university’s funding toward certain U.S. schools. Founded 389 ‌years ⁣ago, Harvard stated in a ‌federal court filing: “Harvard without international students is no longer Harvard.”‌ Current⁣ enrollment data shows nearly 6,800 international students—27% of its total student body—attending⁣ this academic year.

The contract termination marks the latest escalation in⁤ an ongoing battle⁣ between Harvard‍ and the⁤ White House, were Trump seeks⁢ to‍ compel universities, law firms, media outlets, ⁢courts and other self-reliant institutions to​ align with his political agenda. The president and fellow Republicans have long accused elite universities of left-wing bias.

Harvard has repeatedly resisted Trump’s pressures. The institution previously sued to restore approximately $3 billion in blocked or canceled federal grants. Recent weeks saw the administration propose‌ revoking Harvard’s tax-exempt status, demand higher ​taxes on ‌its endowment ⁣funds, and launch civil rights violation investigations against the​ university.

A April 21 statement from harvard condemned these actions as unlawful governmental overreach: “The funding freeze constitutes unauthorized interference in institutional autonomy ‌that could establish dangerous precedents⁣ for academic control.” Federal authorities have initiated multiple probes into university operations while⁢ threatening international students’ status—actions that jeopardize educational integrity.

The⁣ Trump‍ administration demanded unrestricted access to all reports about alleged antisemitism and anti-Muslim bias at Harvard since October 2023.

According to webangah News Agency, Barak ​Ravid, a reporter for Axios, posted on social media platform ⁢X that Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer arrived in Washington on Monday.⁣ Dermer ‍is expected to meet with⁣ Steve ⁤Vittkoff, the White House envoy for West Asia affairs, and other American officials.

The Axios reporter added in another ⁢post: Mossad Director David Barnea ⁤ is also in Washington for discussions about Iran. A U.S. official confirmed Barnea⁤ has met with CIA Director John Ratcliffe and other American counterparts.

Israel’s Channel 12 previously reported that U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister benjamin Netanyahu held a phone call last⁣ Thursday discussing Iran’s nuclear dossier.

The report noted fundamental disagreements between the two leaders regarding⁣ their approaches to Iran’s nuclear program⁢ emerged during the call.

Trump reportedly emphasized his ⁢commitment⁢ to⁤ a political⁢ resolution of the Iranian ⁣nuclear issue during his conversation ⁢with Netanyahu.

Two informed sources stated Trump told Netanyahu he‍ was confident about reaching an agreement with Iran.

The Israeli⁤ television network described the phone call as ‌tense.

According too webangah⁢ News Agency,citing Mehr News Agency and Al Jazeera,US president Donald ‍Trump stated on Tuesday that ​Russian President Vladimir⁤ Putin is “playing with ‌fire.”

The US president added,​ “What Putin doesn’t no is that if I weren’t here, Russia would be experiencing something vrey bad—I mean really ⁣bad.”

This ​comes ‍just one day after Trump referred‍ to his Russian counterpart as “crazy” in a post on his Truth Social platform.⁢ He warned that if Putin continues his actions,​ it will lead to the downfall‍ of his country.
