TEHRAN — The United States will deport 120 Iranians back to Iran over the next two days, Iran’s state-affiliated media reported Tuesday, citing a foreign ministry official.Most of the group entered the US “illegally” through Mexico, the head of consular affairs at Iran’s foreign ministry, Hossein Noushabadi, told Tasnim news agency, adding that those deported will arrive to Iran through Qatar.The official said that the Iranian government has asked the US government to “be sensitive in respecting the rights of Iranian immigrants.” Iran has an “interest protection office” in the Pakistani embassy in Washington, DC.The New York Times first reported that the Trump administration will deport “around 100” Iranians after a deal was reached between the US and Iranian...

CARACAS — Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro says he is preparing to declare a state of emergency to protect his country in the event of an attack by the US military, amid rising tensions over the deployment of American warships to the Caribbean.In a televised address Monday, he told the country the “consultation process” had begun to declare “a state of external unrest, in accordance with the Constitution, and to protect our people, our peace, and our stability ... should Venezuela be attacked by the US empire, militarily attacked.”The address follows weeks of rising tensions following the US deployment of warships to the Caribbean Sea on what Washington insists is a mission to combat drug trafficking but Caracas believes is aimed at regime change.

Italian leader Giorgia Meloni says a new US proposal has sparked hope of ending the Israel-Hamas war
Italy PM tells Gaza aid flotilla to stop or risk 'preventing peace'
ROME — Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has told a flotilla sailing towards Gaza to stop, saying the latest attempt by activists to deliver aid risks derailing a US plan to end the war.More than 40 boats sailing in the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) have been accompanied by an Italian naval frigate, which Italian officials said would stop once the flotilla was 150 nautical miles (278km) from Gaza's shoreline.Shortly after reaching that point on Wednesday, GSF said it was on "high alert" and that drone activity was "increasing" above the flotilla.Meloni said the US proposal had sparked "hope" of ending the Israel-Hamas war, adding it was "a fragile balance, which many would be happy to destroy"."I fear that the flotilla's attempt to...

US President Donald Trump shakes hands with Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth
Hegseth pushes to remake the military in his preferred image
WASHINGTON — Before a captive audience of hundreds of senior military officers on Tuesday morning, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asserted his vision for how the US military will physically look and act, and offered a stark conclusion: If you don’t agree, resign.“The sooner we have the right people, the sooner we can advance the right policies ... but if the words I’m speaking today are making your heart sink, then you should do the honorable thing and resign,” he said.The right policies, according to Hegseth, center on his broader campaign against past efforts that he has deemed “woke” aimed at promoting diversity or accommodating troops — the specifics of which were made official in 10 directives sent out to military leadership as he spoke.There will be no “fat...

Australia sunscreen scandal grows as more products pulled off shelves
SYDNEY — A sunscreen scandal in Australia is continuing to grow, with 18 products now pulled from shelves in the skin cancer hotspot over safety concerns.Analysis by a consumer advocacy group in June found several popular and expensive sunscreens did not provide the protection claimed by their makers.One product, Ultra Violette's Lean Screen Skinscreen, is supposed to offer a skin protection factor (SPF) of 50+ but instead returned a result of SPF 4 and was voluntarily recalled in August.An investigation by the medicines regulator has now warned about 20 more sunscreens from other brands, which share the same base formula, and raised "significant concerns" about a testing laboratory."The preliminary testing indicates that this base formulation is unlikely to have an...

An illegible prescription by an Indian doctor in Madhya Pradesh state last year went viral
Indian court tells doctors to fix their handwriting
DELHI — At a time when most people use keyboards to write, does handwriting really matter?Yes, say Indian courts, if the writer is a doctor.Jokes around the notoriously bad handwriting of many doctors that can only be deciphered by pharmacists are common in India, as around the world. But the latest order emphasising the importance of clear handwriting came recently from the Punjab and Haryana High Court which said that "legible medical prescription is a fundamental right" as it can make a difference between life and death.The court order came in a case that had nothing to do with the written word. It involved allegations of rape, cheating and forgery by a woman and Justice Jasgurpreet Singh Puri was hearing the man's petition for bail.The woman had alleged that the man had...

JERUSALEM — A senior Hamas figure has told the BBC that the group is likely to reject Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza, saying it "serves Israel's interests" and "ignores those of the Palestinian people".The figure said that Hamas is unlikely to agree to disarming and handing over their weapons — a key condition of Trump's plan.Hamas is also said to object to the deployment of an International Stabilisation Force (ISF) in Gaza, which it views as a new form of occupation.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted Trump's plan during White House talks on Monday.

Denmark has reinforced security for the summit and allies have beefed up air defences
European leaders meet in high-security Danish summit after drone disruption
COPENHAGEN — EU leaders gather in Copenhagen on Wednesday under pressure to boost European defence after a series of Russian incursions into EU airspace, and days after drones targeted Danish airports.The incursions have become most acute for countries on the EU's eastern flank such as Poland and Estonia. Ten member states have already backed plans for a multi-layered "drone wall" to quickly detect, then track and destroy Russian drones.Denmark has beefed up security ahead of the summit, banning all civilian drone flights until Friday and placing heavy restrictions on traffic in Copenhagen.Despite the high security, there was little evidence of alarm in the centre of the capital ahead of the summit.Denmark will also host a broader European Political Community summit on...

Trump and Hegseth to address top US generals in unusual military gathering
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth will on Tuesday address American military top brass in person, for an unusual event at a base near Washington DC.Hundreds of military leaders, including generals and admirals stationed around the world, are expected to attend. It represents a rare gathering of so many senior personnel in one place.No official reason was publicly provided when the leaders were summoned at short notice last week, prompting a flurry of speculation. Vice-President JD Vance has sought to downplay the event.Security is extremely tight for the summit, which will take place at Marine Corps Base Quantico, a sprawling 55,000-acre facility in Virginia.Behind the stage on which Hegseth and Trump were expected to speak was a large American...
