Target Remark Election show Videos Iran has rejected direct negotiations with US in response to Trump's letter

However, such talks have made no progress since Trump in his first term unilaterally withdrew America from Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers in 2018. In the years since, regional tensions have boiled over into attacks at sea and on land. Then came the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip, which saw Israel target militant group leaders across Iran's self-described «Axis of Resistance». Now, as the US conducts intense airstrikes targeting the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels of Yemen, the risk of military action targeting Iran's nuclear programme remains on the table. «We don't avoid talks; it's the breach of promises that has caused issues for us so far,» Pezeshkian said in televised remarks during a Cabinet meeting. «They must prove that they can build trust.»

markets COST UPS economy Research Experts reports This move by Trump to make cars unaffordable for many American families. Here's why

Lower-income buyers will suffer another blow from expected hikes in used car prices as demand surges and supply shrinks. New cars priced under $30,000 are already rare as the average new-vehicle price approaches $50,000. The only way automakers can eke out profits on economy cars, analysts say, is to build them in nations with lower manufacturing costs. A Reuters review of data from two auto research firms found just 16 models with an average sticker price less than $30,000 and only one, Toyota's Corolla, that is assembled in the United States. All others are made in Mexico, South Korea, or Japan. Slapping a 25% tariff on these low-end cars may force price increases that make them unaffordable to their target market or cause some automakers to abandon them entirely, industry analysts said.

UPS Dreams WhatsApp peace Naxalism got encouragement for decades due to Congress' policies: PM Modi

Naxalism got encouragement for decades in Chhattisgarh and other states due to policies of Congress. Addressing a public meeting in Mohbhattha village in Bilaspur district, Modi said the situation is rapidly changing and a new era of peace is setting in Naxal-affected areas. «Over the decades, Naxalism got encouragement in many states including Chhattisgarh due to policies of Congress. Whichever region lagged in development, Naxalism flourished there, but what did the party that ran the government for 60 years do? It declared such districts as backward and turned away from its responsibility,» he said. He said many mothers lost their beloved sons and many sisters lost their brothers (in Maoist violence). «The indifference of erstwhile governments was like adding fuel to the fire. You (Chhattisgarh) have also suffered it (the Naxal menace). The (previous) Congress government never took care of amenities of poor tribals,» Modi said and listed the Centre's initiatives like Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and Ayushman Bharat Yojana, which gives free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh… The PM said under the double-engine government, the situation in Chhattisgarh has been rapidly changing.

Having lost their first two matches—against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders—RR will be eager to turn things around at their secondary home ground. Their batting has failed to fire so far, and a strong performance will be needed to avoid a third consecutive defeat. Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings started their campaign with a win against Mumbai Indians but suffered a crushing loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Chepauk. That defeat, only their second-ever against RCB at home, has raised concerns about their bowling attack. However, the slower pitch in Guwahati might work in their favor, particularly for their spinners, as they look to bounce back strongly.

Ball WhatsApp track reports Department bowling RR VS CSK weather, pitch report: Will rain play a spoilsport? What will the conditions be like in Guwahati today? Check details here

Dhoni's unbeaten 30 off 16 balls only has value for nostalgia merchants as the former India captain is doing disservice to his team by coming in to bat when all is seemingly lost. In this backdrop, playing RR on a surface which is «more Chepauk-ish than typical Barsapara Stadium track full of runs» might just help CSK get a win against a side that also doesn't boast of a great bowling attack. Also Riyan Parag is too raw as a skipper and to put it mildly seems completely out of place for a high stakes assignment like leading a billion dollar franchise. But all these years, CSK had the personnel to play that game, especially in the bowling department, which doesn't look top notch this year.

Trump. The March 5 notice raised alarms from immigration and free speech advocates because it appears to expand the government's reach in social media surveillance to people already vetted and in the U.S. legally, such as asylum seekers, green card and citizenship applicants — and not just those applying to enter the country. That said, social media monitoring by immigration officials has been a practice for over a decade, since at least the second Obama administration and ramping up under Trump's first term. Below are some questions and answers on what the new proposal means and how it might expand social media surveillance.

Pete Hegseth called Japan on Sunday an «indispensable partner» in deterring growing Chinese assertiveness in the region and announced upgrading the US military command in Japan to a new «war-fighting headquarters.» Hegseth, who is on his first Asia trip with Japan as his second stop, also stressed the need for both countries to do more to accelerate the strengthening of their military capability as the region faces China's assertive military actions and a possible Taiwan emergency. «Japan is our indispensable partner in deterring Communist Chinese military aggression,» Hegseth said at the beginning of his talks with Japan's Defence Minister Gen Nakatani in Tokyo. «The US is moving fast, as you know, to reestablish deterrence in this region and around the world.» His comments come as an assurance at a time when Japan has been worried about how US engagement in the region may change under President Donald Trump's «America First» policy, Japanese defence officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity, citing protocol.

WhatsApp wellness stars cricket Sporting bowling RR vs CSK Live Streaming Online: When and where to watch Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings match

Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, two teams finding their foot in IPL 2025, go head to head at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati on Sunday. CSK faced a drubbing at home against RCB when they lost by 50 runs — their worst defeat at Chepauk. RR, on the other hand, have lost their opening two matches. Rajasthan, the hosts for this encounter, have been exposed and the lack of depth in the squad is visible. Sanju Riyan Parag, who will captain once again, Sanju Samosn, who is playing as an impact sub, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Parag, Shubham Dubey, Nitish Rana and Dhruv Jurel have not fired consistently. Though they have done well in patches, it was not enough to escape defeat. The bowling looks even bleaker with Jofra Archer not in form and the two Sri Lankan spinners being picked easily. CSK look better on paper even after a bad defeat in the previous match. The spin trio of Noor Ahmad, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja is capable of destroying any batting attack on a slow surface. CSK, however, have a problem in their middle order which has failed to contribute anything significant if the openers Rachin Ravindra and Ruturaj Gaikwad do not get runs. MS Dhoni further down the order has also led to the CSK batting order looking unbalanced.
