President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have called on European allies to help open the Strait of Hormuz. This comes after a large throne with a golden toilet has been placed on the National Mall in Washington in protest of President Trump's renovations. The group claimed responsibility for a previous statue depicting Trump and late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. There is also concern in India's transgender community about new legal changes, which critics argue narrows eligibility and requires medical proof for legal recognition. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (379) has threatened to target US and Israel-affiliated universities in the Middle East in retaliation for recent attacks on Iranian higher education centers.
