US disputes Iranian claims about closing Strait of Hormuz

The United States has rejected Iranian claims that its military closed the Strait of Hormuz, saying there is no evidence of a closure and that commercial ship traffic through the waterway has actually increased. Iran announced on Saturday that its military had closed the strategic Strait of Hormuz, in retaliation for what it calls a "blatant breach" of a recently signed US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding by the United States and Israel. Iran's top joint military command ordered the closure and warned that no ships or vessels should approach the waterway. US Vice President JD Vance disputed the closure during an interview with Fox News on Saturday, stating that there is no evidence Iran closed the Strait. US Central Command released a statement shortly after Iran's announcement, confirming that commercial ship traffic through the strait increased on June 20. "CCommercial ship […]

Japan raises visa fees for Nigerians and other foreigners by 400%

Japan has sharply increased visa application fees for Nigerians and other foreign nationals, raising costs by up to 400 percent for several categories of visas. According to Japan’s revised tariff, the standard single‑entry visa fee has risen from 3,000 yen to 15,000 yen for most foreign applicants, including Nigerians. This represents a fivefold increase in the amount payable per application. Multiple‑entry and double‑entry visas have also recorded significant hikes, with fees moving from about 6,000 yen to considerably higher levels under the new structure. Transit visas, which previously attracted a lower charge, now come with increased costs as well, although they remain cheaper than single‑entry visas. In addition to the higher visa fees, applicants using visa application centres will continue to pay separate service charges and, in some locations, courier fees for document transfer between Lagos, Abuja, and the embassy.

Bolivia’s president declares state of emergency after weeks of protests

Bolivia's President Rodrigo Paz has declared a nationwide state of emergency to free the country's roads from blockades after over six weeks of protests demanding his resignation. Paz announced the emergency measure early Saturday, stating it is to give freedom back to the people and liberate Bolivia from those using political conflict to block roads and harm the population. The president called the situation an organized attempt to destabilize democracy, saying the decision came after exhausting all avenues of dialogue. The emergency declaration gives Paz expanded constitutional powers to restore order, including the option to deploy armed forces to dismantle blockades. The order is effective immediately, but Paz must inform Congress within 24 hours, and Congress has up to 72 hours to endorse or dismiss the declaration. The conflict erupted in May after Paz scrapped two-decade-old fuel subsidies, causing gas […]

Trump unveils Qatar-gifted presidential jet, calls it flying White House

US President Donald Trump has unveiled a luxurious Boeing 747-8 jet gifted by Qatar as the new Air Force One, proclaiming at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, that the aircraft has been converted into a flying White House with unprecedented luxury. The jet, which Trump says is virtually double the size of the previous model, is painted in white, maroon and navy blue, with Trump personally selecting the red, white and blue paint scheme as a departure from the traditional light blue. The Qatari royal family donated the luxury Boeing 747-8 to the US Department of Defense in May 2025, intending for it to be integrated into the Air Force One fleet that serves to transport the president. Trump has said the Qatari jet would serve as a bridge aircraft to transport the president until the new fleet of Boeing planes […]

US envoy Witkoff headed to Switzerland for Iran talks — reports

US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is heading to Switzerland where the first round of talks with Iran on a potential nuclear deal is expected to take place, a US official told Axios. US official said Trump's envoy Jared Kushner is already in Switzerland for the negotiations, which were supposed to start Friday but were postponed because of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Both Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi were headed to Switzerland for talks, as a ceasefire in Lebanon appeared to revive efforts to turn the interim Iran war pact into a lasting regional deal. The development follows a 14-point memorandum the US and Iran signed this week to halt fighting and open a 60-day window to resolve disputes over Iran's nuclear programme and other thorny issues needed for a durable deal. With the ceasefire in […]

US says it needs $80bn for Iran war, other bills

The US Department of Defense has told lawmakers it needs about $80 billion in emergency funding to cover costs from the Iran war as well as other non-war-related bills, according to briefings cited in US media reports. Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg communicated the request to members of Congress in phone calls this week, with the Wall Street Journal reporting that the $80 billion figure is now the Pentagon’s target for an urgent supplemental package. The planned request would not be limited to the military alone, as the full US supplemental proposal is expected to include money for the Pentagon alongside non-defense priorities such as farm support and disaster relief. US officials previously indicated that the Iran war has cost around $25 billion so far, marking the first official estimate of the financial toll of the conflict. Earlier projections from […]

Trump defends Iran deal, calls critics ‘fools’

US President Donald Trump has angrily defended his controversial deal with Iran to end hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, lashing out at opponents and branding critics of the agreement as “fools.” The Trump administration this week unveiled a memorandum of understanding with Tehran that provides for an immediate cessation of military hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon, alongside a roadmap for further negotiations. Under the interim deal, the US is set to lift its naval blockade on ships entering and leaving Iran within 30 days, while the Treasury Department will issue waivers on Iranian oil exports and move toward lifting sanctions and unfreezing Iranian assets in foreign accounts. The agreement also opens the door for up to 300 billion dollars in private investment into Iran’s infrastructure sector, as both sides enter a 60‑day window to finalize talks on […]

Trump: If you import from third-world countries, you become one

US President Donald Trump has said that any country that imports people from third-world countries will quickly become a third-world country itself, as he defended his administration’s tougher immigration stance. Trump originally wrote on Truth Social, “If you import The Third World, you become The Third World,” and later adjusted the wording to say, “Sadly, if you import people from Third World Countries, you quickly become a Third World Country — and there’s not a thing you can do about it”. He linked this argument to his broader push to tighten migration rules, including plans to “permanently pause” migration from what he calls third-world countries so the US system can “fully recover”. The president has also signalled intentions to remove migrants he considers not a “net asset” to the US and to end federal benefits and subsidies for noncitizens he […]
