Netanyahu says Israel will begin 'direct negotiations' with Lebanon aimed at disarming Hezbollah
U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff pressed Netanyahu to 'calm down' strikes in Lebanon and open negotiations, following Lebanon's repeated requests and earlier calls from Lebanese President Joseph Aoun for a diplomatic path.
Israeli strikes on Wednesday killed at least 254 (or over 300) people according to Lebanese Civil Defense

Trump Warns Iran Not to Charge Fees For Ships Transiting Hormuz
On Thursday, President Donald Trump warned Iran against charging tolls for vessels passing through the Hormuz Strait, stating, "They better not be and, if they are, they better stop now!"
Acting on a proposal from Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, Trump agreed Tuesday to a two-week ceasefire contingent on the "COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING" of the Strait.
Reports suggest Iran and Oman proposed charging up to $2 million per ship for reconstruction, with PBS News citing at least two vessels that already paid fees in Chinese yuan.
Writing on Truth Social, Trump denounced the reported fees, declaring, "Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonourable, some would say, of allowing oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz. That is not the agreement we have!"
Despite these public tensions, Trump said he remains "very optimistic" about a peace deal, noting that Iranian leaders are more amenable in private conversations than their public statements suggest.

‘The new Iranian regime is more extreme than its predecessor’… (i24News) IDF officials said in a classified Knesset discussion on Iran that there have been impressive military achievements, but the current Iranian regime is more hardline and less receptive to diplomacy … a system more heavily dominated by the Revolutionary Guards.
In Tehran, Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued a written statement marking 40 days since the death of his predecessor, Ali Khamenei, and addressing the war. “Iran does not seek war, but it will not compromise its rights,” he said, while asserting that “despite the damage and blows inflicted by the enemy, our armed forces turned the war into a great victory.” He also warned regional actors, saying, “We tell Iran's southern neighbors that you are witnessing a miracle… be suspicious of the false promises of the devils.”

Cuba's president says he's 'not stepping down' in interview with NBC News
On Thursday, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel rejected calls to step down during his first U.S. network interview with NBC News' Meet the Press, stating "stepping down is not part of our vocabulary."
Severe fuel shortages and rolling power outages across Cuba follow, with officials blaming the 50-year-old U.S. economic embargo for the nation's inability to produce more than 40% of its required fuel.
Defending his mandate, Díaz-Canel told Kristen Welker that Cuban officials are "elected by the people" and lack any mandate from the U.S. government, questioning if her question originated from the State Department.
Havana's negotiating posture has hardened, narrowing diplomatic openings with Washington and dimming prospects for swift relief from ongoing economic and energy pressures affecting public services.
While Díaz-Canel accuses the U.S. of a "hostile policy," Washington officials like Senator Marco Rubio argue the shortages stem from Cuba's economic mismanagement, as tensions remain high between the two nations.

ANIMALS: Scientists Announce The First Clear Evidence of a Chimpanzee 'Civil War'
A study published Thursday in the journal Science documents lethal violence between chimpanzee subgroups in Uganda's Kibale National Park, describing the community's permanent split as a 'civil war'.
The Ngogo community, once numbering 200, fractured into Western and Central clusters around 2015 due to heightened competition for food and mates, leadership changes, and a respiratory epidemic that killed 25 chimpanzees in 2017.
Since the 2018 permanent fission, the Western subgroup has initiated attacks, killing at least 28 chimpanzees, including 19 infants, according to researchers Aaron Sandel and John Mitani.
Sandel and colleagues suggest 'relational dynamics may play a larger causal role in human conflict than often assumed,' indicating small social shifts can foster lethal rivalry.
Evidence from the Ngogo chimps 'challenges' the hypothesis that human warfare is driven primarily by cultural markers, suggesting group identities can shift and lethal aggression can arise without ideology or religion.
