    Trump Administration Considers Nuclear Strike on Iran

    Former National Security Advisor Joe Kent and Tehran University professor Foad Izadi suggest that the Trump administration is contemplating the use of nuclear weapons against Iran. Kent argues that Trump's determination to 'crush' Iran leaves nuclear weapons as the only option, given his reluctance to commit US troops to a ground invasion. Izadi warns that Trump's history of high-risk decisions and threats of widespread damage make the possibility of a nuclear strike non-negligible.

    U.S. Deports Haitians Amidst TPS End

    The U.S. has sent a second deportation flight to Haiti in a week, carrying around 50 people, including families and minors. This follows the end of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 300,000 Haitians living in the U.S., leaving them vulnerable to deportation. The flight landed in Cap-Haitien, with reports citing a one-year-old U.S.-born child among the deportees. This marks a significant change from the previous monthly deportation rhythm to Haiti. The move comes as the U.S. government records a strong increase in migrant detentions and amidst concerns over Haiti's security crisis.
