What is a heat dome and why can it cause extreme heat waves
TOKYO (AP) – The head of the U.N.’s nuclear agency said Wednesday that Iranian nuclear enrichment sites would be visited by his inspectors as part of the interim U.S.-Iran deal to reach an end to the war. An Iranian diplomat instead insisted any such visit would only come after a final deal.
TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) – Vivianne Petit Frere’s brightly painted Haitian restaurant sits blocks from the towering U.S. border wall in Tijuana. Called Lakou Lakay, the name in Haitian creole means “home,” and it reflects her family’s deepening roots in their adopted homeland where her granddaughter was born two years ago, automatically making her a Mexican citizen.

ISLAMABAD (AP) – The U.S. and Iran were in dispute Tuesday over whether Tehran had agreed to allow U.N. inspections of its nuclear sites. As officials negotiated over how to permanently end the war in Iran, a plan emerged to break the shipping bottleneck through the Strait of Hormuz.
The Pentagon has told senators it needs roughly $80 billion, mostly to cover the cost of the U.S. war against Iran, adding to an already sizable military spending boost sought by President Donald Trump. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been making the rounds on Capitol Hill ahead of a formal request.
The lead negotiator of the Iranian delegation, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, insisted on Monday the Strait of Hormuz will be managed by Iran and would follow international laws. Qalibaf, who is also the speaker of the parliament, spoke with Iran state media on a plane on his way back from Switzerland.
