President Donald Trump on Sunday endorsed Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr’s threat to revoke broadcast licenses over news coverage of the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran, calling media organizations “Corrupt and Highly Unpatriotic” in a Truth Social post. “Brendan Carr’s authoritarian warning — that networks risk their broadcasting licenses for Iran war reporting that the government doesn’t like — is outrageous,” Creeley said. The White House did not immediately comment on whether Trump included any broadcasters in his criticism of this line of coverage. A spokesman for Carr did not immediately respond to a question about whether Carr’s remarks were targeted at specific broadcasters. “Politicians have an obvious motive for claiming that journalism which raises questions about their decisions is false.

But like so many of his athletic exploits, somehow a perfect missed free throw just comes naturally to the Lakers’ guard.

As I noted once before, when one nation is fighting an existential battle for its life, rather than fighting for poorly articulated reasons and apparently in aid of a foreign power, its passion and determination can be expected to count for a lot. Not to mention the decades it has had in preparing for this moment.

Iran has responded with attacks against Israel and neighboring countries in the Persian Gulf. Israeli air defense system fires to intercept missiles during an Iranian attack over Tel Aviv, Israel, early Sunday, March 15, 2026. Iran has fired hundreds of missiles and drones at the UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman during the war. Though their air defenses have intercepted most, the war has caused significant damage and rattled economies in the Gulf countries. In Israel, 12 people have been killed by Iranian missile fire and more have been injured, including three on Sunday.

VATICAN CITY — In the days after President Donald Trump unleashed a military attack on Iran, the Catholic Church was quickly on a war-footing — against the war. Pope Leo XIV’s first response was a tempered call for peace using a finely honed restraint that he has largely repeated. They have a nostalgia for the direct approach of Pope Francis,” one of the Vatican officials said. Trump’s “letter to Pope Leo had nothing to do with July Fourth America 250 celebrations,” the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the diplomacy surrounding the invitation. The Vatican has refused to confirm or deny whether the account belonged to the future pope.

In the two weeks since the war began, Congress has largely been sidelined. “The norm in this country is not to declare war by Congress, but for the military to be used by the commander in chief. Under the War Powers Resolution passed by Congress in 1973, unauthorized deployments into hostile situations must end after 60 days unless Congress votes to declare war or passes legislation authorizing the use of the military. If you don’t like the war in Iran, say we won’t pay for it. The Trump administration’s war with Iran cost $11.3 billion during its first six days, according to the Associated Press.

Since President Trump returned to the White House in January last year, the U.S. has deported a little over 144,000 Mexicans to their homeland by the end of 2025, according to Mexican government data. The overall numbers are down, in part, because there are fewer Mexican migrants entering the United States since Trump beefed up border security. The highest number of deported Mexicans, 12,786, came from Chiapas, which borders Guatemala and is Mexico’s southernmost state. AdvertisementAfter Chiapas, the two other main states of origin for deported Mexicans were Guanajuato, with 11,552, and Guerrero, trailing just behind with 11,044. An analysis of federal U.S. data by the New York Times shows that the Trump administration deported about 540,000 people last year.

It remains possible that a declaration from Trump that the fighting is over results in a ceasefire, as it did in June of last year, when Trump demanded an end to 12 days of war between Iran and Israel. “To the great proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand,” Trump said. Others are not, such as picking the next leader of Iran,” said Ray Takeyh, a scholar on Iran at the Council on Foreign Relations. “The war was publicly justified, to the extent it was justified at all, in terms of destroying Iran’s nuclear program.

President Trump, shown Thursday at the White House, has spoken about the Iran war in a coarse and triumphant tone that is unprecedented for U.S. wartime presidents, two experts said. They have consistently described the war in terms of how hard the U.S. is hitting Iran, rather than why it must do so. Kimble said there are several ways to view Trump’s war rhetoric. One is “through the lens of PSYOPS, or psychological operations” — or intentional messaging aimed at discouraging the enemy, akin to the U.S. dropping leaflets in World War II telling foreign combatants that they must surrender or die. Rowland said Trump “always has to be the big dog in the room,” and his war messaging should be viewed in that context.

Russia is reveling in the Trump administration’s decision to lift U.S. sanctions on Russian oil at sea, a move Moscow hopes will lead to further relief from penalties that had only recently begun to bite deep. For Russia, it’s a break from restrictions that were imposed to reduce the Kremlin’s ability to finance its war in Ukraine. The decision, which analysts say could affect some 128 million barrels of oil, risks undermining four years of sanctions aimed at curbing Moscow’s war effort. Now, economists say, Russia won’t have to mark down the oil that was loaded onto tankers before Thursday to sell it. The European Union imposed a price cap on Russian oil in December 2022.
