Diplomatic efforts to end the conflict with Iran have entered a high-stakes phase as President Trump indicated that negotiators are "getting a lot closer" to a deal. The potential memorandum of understanding is being shepherded by mediators from Pakistan and Qatar, but the situation remains volatile; while Tehran expresses openness to ending the war, it maintains that it will not compromise on its "legitimate rights." Domestically, the Trump administration faces internal friction following the resignation of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, whose departure coincides with reports that the President remains split "50/50" between diplomacy and resuming military strikes.

Beyond the Middle East, a devastating gas explosion at a coal mine in China's Shanxi province has claimed at least 90 lives, marking one of the country's worst industrial disasters in years. Meanwhile, the Ebola outbreak in the DR Congo and Uganda is creating growing international ripples, triggering new travel restrictions and mandatory isolation for the DRC's national football team ahead of the World Cup in the United States. In Senegal, a significant political rupture occurred as President Faye sacked Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, threatening to destabilize the nation’s ongoing debt negotiations with the IMF.
