A new lawsuit filed in Washington, D.C., alleges that the Trump administration is divulging details of Iranian asylum seekers to the government of Iran.

Lawyers with the left-leaning Public Citizen Litigation Group argue that the administration began sharing information about the applications with Iran in March 2025. Since then, U.S. government officials have "periodically mailed or hand delivered immigration files of Iranians" in immigration custody to the Iranian government, according to the complaint.

"The law is very clear that information within an asylum application or other applications for similar forms of protection cannot be shared, particularly with the government that the individual is fleeing," said Michael Kirkpatrick, an attorney with Public Citizen, told NPR. Public Citizen Litigation Group is representing the Iranian American Legal Defense Fund in the suit.

"That information could put them in grave risk upon return," Kirkpatrick said. "They could be detained. They could be interrogated. They could be sent to prison. They could be tortured. As well as the risk to their family and acquaintances who remain in Iran."

President Trump renewed his call for the United States to have control of Greenland soon after arriving in Turkey for the NATO summit, reopening a fight that badly frayed relations with allies earlier this year.

“Greenland doesn’t help Denmark, Denmark doesn’t spend money to really help Greenland, but it’s an important part for the United States,” Trump said during a bilateral meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Greenland is a self-governing, semiautonomous territory owned by Denmark. Trump has repeatedly argued that U.S. control over Greenland is necessary for global security and countering Russian and Chinese threats in the Arctic.

“That should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark,” he said. “And when they wouldn’t go along with it, and with all the money we spend to help them with Russia — we don’t have to spend any money.”

Less than two weeks before his daughter’s wedding, Khalil al-Masri set out with his eldest son to complete what should have been one of the family's happiest final preparations: paying for and confirming the reservation of the wedding dress she had chosen at a shop in Gaza City’s Rimal neighbourhood.

With the reservation confirmed, the two stopped at a nearby sweet shop to celebrate, where they met two friends. As they sat together at a table outside the shop, a live bullet pierced Masri’s head, leaving him unconscious as his son and friends watched in horror.

The 43-year-old father of seven was rushed to the al-Shifa Hospital, but he succumbed to his wounds the following day, on 14 June.

“The wedding was turned into a funeral.”

The incident, captured by a surveillance camera at the entrance to the shop, is not an isolated case.

Russia launched a ballistic missile attack on Kyiv and the region early Monday, July 6, killing at least 26 people and injuring 100 more.

“Once again, Putin ‘vanquished’ ordinary residential buildings,” President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote in a Telegram post announcing the latest casualty numbers Monday evening.

The head of the Kyiv City Military Administration (KMVA), Timur Tkachenko, said emergency crews were responding to more than 20 impact sites across the city.

“The most difficult situation is in the Darnytskyi and Podilskyi districts, where the Russians directly hit residential high-rise buildings,” Tkachenko wrote on Telegram.

In the Podilskyi district, a residential building was partially destroyed between the seventh and ninth floors, leaving people trapped under the rubble. Another 21-story apartment building suffered structural damage between the third and fourth floors after being struck by debris.

The U.S. men's national team has been eliminated from the 2026 FIFA World Cup after a 4-1 loss to Belgium in the round of 16 on Monday, July 6 at Lumen Field in Seattle.

Mauricio Pochettino named an unchanged starting lineup after Folarin Balogun's suspension was suspended by FIFA and allowed to play.

Belgium got on the front foot at the opening whistle and piled on the pressure early leading to the opening goal by Charles De Ketelaere in the ninth minute. A failure to clear the ball from their own box led to a simple tap-in for the first goal of the match.

Malik Tillman got the U.S. level just after the half-hour mark with his second free-kick goal of the tournament. However, just two minutes later, the Red Devils retook the lead through another goal from De Ketelaere.

Israel believes fighting in Gaza could resume within the next two months, potentially before October's elections, according to a report by Israel's Channel 12.

The broadcaster, citing Israeli officials, said on Saturday that Israel expects the US-led "Board of Peace" to conclude within the next two to three months that Hamas has violated the agreement by refusing to disarm.

Such a ruling could pave the way for Israel to renew raids in parts of Gaza outside their current control, raising the prospect of renewed fighting, the report said.

Channel 12 also quoted a political source as saying the board's director-general, Nikolay Mladenov, had considered declaring Hamas in breach of the agreement two months ago but postponed the move at the request of mediators.

"If nothing changes within three months, Mladenov will declare Hamas in breach of the agreement," the source said.
