President Donald Trump said Sunday he believes Israel and Iran could eventually strike an agreement to end their unfolding conflict, but cautioned the two sides might need to continue fighting before they are prepared to negotiate. Speaking to reporters at the White House as he departed for the Group of Seven summit in Canada, Trump remarked, "I think there's a good chance there will be a deal. Sometimes they have to fight it out." He added that now "is the time for a deal," yet offered no details on any U.S.-led mediation effort. The president said Washington would keep helping Israel defend itself against Iranian missile attacks but stopped short of urging Jerusalem to pause its military operations. Trump did not specify what additional steps, if any, the United States might take to ease tensions.

Randi Weingarten, president of the 1.7-million-member American Federation of Teachers, has stepped down from her post on the Democratic National Committee. The resignation, disclosed on 15 June, ends a 23-year tenure that began in 2002.
People familiar with the decision said Weingarten’s departure followed a dispute with DNC Chair Ken Martin. Neither the union leader nor the committee immediately released detailed statements explaining the disagreement.
Weingarten has been one of organized labor’s highest-profile figures in Democratic politics, frequently advising party leaders on education and workplace issues. Her exit could complicate the DNC’s relations with teachers and other public-sector unions as the party prepares for the 2026 midterm elections.

Thousands of demonstrators marched in several Brazilian cities on Sunday, 15 June, to protest Israel’s military campaign in the Gaza Strip. Rallies were held in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro—where activists gathered beneath the Christ the Redeemer statue—and other urban centers as part of a coordinated international day of action.
Participants waved Palestinian flags, chanted slogans demanding an immediate cease-fire and denounced Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. Some groups urged President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s administration to move beyond public criticism of Israel and suspend bilateral trade, echoing calls made in protests abroad.
Israel’s offensive in Gaza began in 2023 and has left thousands dead and wounded, according to local health authorities and the United Nations. Sunday’s demonstrations add to mounting global pressure for a negotiated halt to the fighting and increased humanitarian access to the besieged enclave.

U.S. defense officials said three attack drones were launched on 15 June toward the Ain al-Asad Airbase in Iraq’s Anbar province, which hosts American troops. Air-defense systems shot down all three UAVs, preventing damage or injuries. The incident came shortly after Israeli strikes on Iran, and while no group claimed responsibility, officials said the devices were likely fired by Iranian-backed militias operating inside Iraq.
Hours later, U.S. forces intercepted another explosive-laden drone near the U.S. Consulate General in Erbil, northern Iraq—the second such attempt in as many nights. The intercepted drone exploded after being hit, with debris falling in Zin City but causing no casualties. U.S. officials view the back-to-back attacks as part of a rising campaign by Tehran-aligned paramilitary groups to pressure American installations in Iraq amid heightened regional tensions.

Universal Pictures’ live-action remake of “How to Train Your Dragon” debuted at No. 1 in North America with an estimated US$83.7 million in weekend ticket sales, according to industry trackers. The film adapts the 2010 animated hit into a live-action format, drawing on the same Viking-era coming-of-age storyline that helped launch a multi-picture franchise.
The strong domestic launch ended a three-week reign for Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch,” which slipped from the top spot after grossing more than US$850 million worldwide since its release. “How to Train Your Dragon” also outperformed the earlier animated version’s North American opening in 2010.
Including overseas receipts, “How to Train Your Dragon” has generated about US$198 million globally, underscoring continued audience appetite for high-profile live-action reboots. Analysts say the robust start positions the film for a profitable run as the summer movie season enters its peak.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and other major champions were left chasing, while Sam Burns and South Africa’s Thriston Lawrence finished the day at three under.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has stated that drivers in the state have the legal right to defend themselves if they are threatened by protesters blocking roadways. DeSantis explained that if a mob surrounds a vehicle and threatens the driver, the driver is entitled to flee for their safety, even if that means driving through the crowd and hitting protesters. He emphasized that if a driver hits someone while escaping, it is the fault of the protesters for impeding the vehicle. This policy reflects a zero-tolerance stance on riots and aggressive road blockades in Florida. DeSantis made these remarks during a podcast interview and multiple public statements, affirming that Floridians do not have to be passive or “sitting ducks” when confronted by violent mobs. The governor’s comments come ahead of planned nationwide protests, including events in Florida, and have been widely reported and discussed in various media outlets. The policy effectively authorizes residents to use their vehicles as a means of self-defense against protesters who aggressively block streets or threaten drivers' safety.

President Donald Trump has opened an official website and waiting list for the “Trump Card,” a $5 million investor visa that he says will give wealthy foreigners expedited access to U.S. permanent residency and, ultimately, citizenship. The card is marketed as conferring rights similar to a green card without requiring separate congressional approval.
In a Truth Social post, Trump said more than 15,000 applicants joined the list within the first 24 hours, representing potential revenue of about $75 billion. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick later told reporters that registrations had risen to 25,000, implying $125 billion in commitments. Trump has floated selling up to 10 million cards, which he claims could generate as much as $50 trillion to cut the federal deficit.

Prince Turki Al-Faisal, former Saudi ambassador to the United States and former Saudi intelligence chief, condemned the war in Gaza as an unprecedented crime and accused Israel of genocide. He urged the international community to take action beyond sympathy. Prince Turki emphasized that Saudi Arabia will strongly advocate for global recognition of a Palestinian state and an imposed Israeli ceasefire at the upcoming New York peace conference, describing delays in recognition as unacceptable. He stated that normalization with Israel is contingent upon the establishment of a Palestinian state and criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government as obstacles to peace, accusing them of focusing on occupation and displacement rather than peace. Prince Turki also praised former U.S. President Donald Trump's efforts toward a Gaza ceasefire but called for increased pressure on Israel, asserting that the Israeli government does not desire peace. He criticized Western allies for their reluctance to condemn Israel, comparing Israel's actions in Palestine unfavorably to Russia's conduct in Ukraine. Prince Turki expressed disappointment if U.S. officials have dismissed the two-state solution and urged Washington to support Palestinian statehood and the upcoming peace conference. He reiterated that Saudi Arabia's position remains firm that Palestinian statehood is a prerequisite for normalization with Israel. Furthermore, he stated that Israel, not Hamas, should disarm and cease hostilities, with negotiations led by the Palestinian Authority as the path to a two-state solution. Meanwhile, former Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad criticized the United States for its silence on Palestinian statehood and called on Washington to affirm Palestinian rights and uphold the 1967 borders to maintain credibility as a peace broker.
