Russia has voiced strong support for Iran’s right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes, highlighting a growing divide with the United States over nuclear policy and ongoing negotiations.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow will accept “any approach” in Iran’s negotiations that recognizes its “inalienable right” to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes. Speaking during a visit to Beijing, Lavrov emphasized Russia’s backing whether Iran pauses enrichment or “insists on reserving this right.”

Lavrov said Russia and China “firmly support” ongoing talks, adding they aim to “advance realistic and fair goals” while respecting international law. He noted Iran’s participation in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which permits peaceful nuclear programs, though it does not explicitly address uranium enrichment.

However, Donald Trump reiterated opposition, stating there “will be no enrichment of Uranium.” Lavrov countered that the International Atomic Energy Agency has never found Iran’s enrichment efforts to have military intent. He also urged the United States to halt hostilities, warning continued aggression could harm even its allies.

The U.S. government has terminated a long-standing migrant care contract with Catholic Charities in Miami, citing reduced need, as church officials warn of harmful impacts on children amid broader tensions with the Vatican.

The Trump administration has canceled an $11 million contract with Catholic Charities in Miami to house unaccompanied migrant children, ending a partnership spanning more than 60 years. The move comes amid tensions between President Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV, whose criticism of U.S. policies on Iran and migrants has drawn backlash from the administration.

The Office of Refugee Resettlement said fewer migrant children are now in federal care, citing a drop to 1,900 from a peak of 22,000. “ORR is closing and consolidating unused facilities,” a spokesperson said. Archbishop Thomas Wenski responded: “The U.S. government has abruptly decided to end more than 60 years of relationship with Catholic Charities.”

Wenski warned the program will shut within three months, displacing vulnerable children. Experts say relocation could be traumatic. “It’s incredibly psychologically harmful to be moved,” said Robert Latham. Catholic Charities currently operates shelters and foster services, but it remains unclear where affected children will be relocated.

Woman who downed 14 shots of tequila before falling on a Carnival cruise ship is set to receive $300,000 from Carnival.

45-year-old nurse, Diana Sanders, is getting the large sum of money after she blacked out and fell.

The lawsuit claims Sanders suffered “severe injuries, including, but not limited to, a concussion, headaches, a possible traumatic brain injury, back injuries, tailbone injuries, bruising, and other injuries.”

Sanders blames the bartenders for serving her too much alcohol.

The U.S. Senate has again blocked a resolution to limit President Trump’s military authority in the ongoing seven-week war with Iran, despite a recent escalation to a naval blockade following failed peace talks.

The U.S. Senate on Wednesday rejected a Democratic-led war-powers resolution for the fourth time, as the military conflict with Iran enters its seventh week following the start of “Operation Epic Fury” on February 28. The 52–47 vote, which fell largely along party lines, underscores continued Republican support for President Donald Trump’s strategy, which recently escalated to a full naval blockade of Iranian ports after weekend peace negotiations in Islamabad failed.

While Vice President JD Vance’s efforts to secure a deal were unsuccessful, President Trump told Fox Business on Wednesday that the war is “close to over,” a sentiment echoed by Senator Josh Hawley, who stated that an immediate end to the conflict “would be ideal.” Senator Rand Paul, the sole Republican to support the measure, warned that he expects more colleagues to join him once the 60-day legal threshold for unauthorized hostilities is reached later this month.Despite the defeat, Senator Tim Kaine vowed that Democrats would continue forced weekly votes to “make clear to the American people who owns this war,” highlighting the persistent divide over the executive branch’s authority to wage war without a formal congressional mandate.
