The US military confirmed a second round of strikes against targets in Iran in retaliation for an attack on an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. The renewed hostilities threaten to unravel a fragile ceasefire and set back commercial shipping recovery in the Persian Gulf. Both sides traded accusations as international concern grows over escalating tensions in the strategic waterway.
Rescue teams continue pulling survivors from the rubble of devastating earthquakes in Venezuela as relatives of the missing hold out hope. Survivors described the tremors as 'unbelievable' in intensity, with widespread destruction across the country. Many in Caracas say this is the hardest moment in Venezuela's modern history.
The death toll from catastrophic earthquakes in Venezuela has reached 1,430, with thousands more injured and millions in need of assistance. Venezuelans at home and abroad are organizing relief efforts and scrambling to send aid. Health officials report approximately 235 dead and 4,300 injured, though the numbers continue rising as more bodies are recovered.
The window to find survivors beneath the rubble is rapidly closing as the death toll surpasses 1,400. Phone alert systems reportedly warned millions of residents moments before the quakes struck, potentially saving countless lives. Survivors recount harrowing experiences as search efforts continue around the clock.
President Donald Trump announced he will nominate former Oklahoma state trooper Lance Schroyer as the new director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Schroyer's law enforcement background aligns with the administration's intensified focus on immigration enforcement. The nomination now awaits Senate confirmation.
