Prima cosa: l'Iran inizia un lungo addio all'ex leader suprema con le richieste della morte di Trump

Buongiorno.

La settimana di processioni funebri di massa per l'ex leader supremo Ali Khamenei in Iran ha visto appelli pubblici all'uccisione di Donald Trump. Khamenei è stato ucciso insieme ad altri membri della sua famiglia il 28 febbraio, il primo giorno della guerra tra Stati Uniti e Israele contro l'Iran.

Patrick Wintour del Guardian a Teheran ha riportato che il funerale era stato progettato per mostrare all'amministrazione Trump che l'Iran manteneva la resilienza sociale. Tra i partecipanti vi erano alti funzionari politici, militari e giudiziari, suggerendo di avere garanzie che il provvisorio cessate il fuoco concordato dagli Stati Uniti esclude attacchi alla cerimonia. Il comandante della forza al-Quds, Esmail Qaani, e il capo del Corpo delle Guardie della Rivoluzione Islamica, Ahmad Vahidi, erano entrambi ben visivi – cosa inconcepibile all'inizio della guerra.

Chi ha preso la decisione diretta per uccidere Trump? Durante una parte della cerimonia, il poeta Mohammad Rasouli disse: "Giuro sul tuo sangue; L'omicidio di Trump è nostra responsabilità. Perché l'uomo più bastardo del mondo è ancora vivo? … Perché non dovremmo uccidere l'uomo che ha ucciso il nostro imam? Sarebbe una vergogna se non lo facessimo."

Dov'è il nuovo leader supremo? Nominato 10 giorni dopo la morte del padre, Mojtaba Khamenei non si è presentato in pubblico né registrato alcun messaggio audio da tre mesi. La sua assenza fu resa ancora più evidente quando i suoi fratelli, Mustafa, Massoud e Meysam, si trovarono uno accanto all'altro accanto alla bara del padre.

Un repubblicano della Florida afferma che deportare haitiani con TPS sarebbe un 'enorme errore'

Carlos Giménez, a Republican congressman from Florida, broke with the Trump administration on Sunday, calling on the White House to reconsider its push to eliminate temporary protected status (TPS) for Haitian migrants.

Returning about 350,000 Haitians to their chaotic, dangerous homeland would be a grave error, Giménez said, after the US supreme court’s ruling that the Trump administration could cut off temporary legal protections.

What did Giménez say? He said: “[TPS] is meant to safeguard those who are either fleeing countries that are failed states and are at risk of going back to them or countries that really can’t handle them right now, as is the case with Venezuela that has suffered a natural disaster.”

What did the court decide? The ruling gave the green light to plans to end TPS for more than 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians. TPS allows people to live and work in the US if the Department of Homeland Security deems their home countries unsafe due to war or natural disasters.

USMNT avoids key player suspension at World Cup after Trump intervenes

The USMNT’s Fifa World Cup campaign is mired in controversy after Folarin Balogun’s red-card suspension was overturned in an unprecedented move after an apparent direct intervention from Donald Trump. The president made three calls to Fifa to ensure the striker could play Belgium tonight, later writing on Truth Social: “Thank you to Fifa for doing what was right, and reversing a great injustice!” Balogun had been sent off for a dangerous tackle against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the previous round.

How have Belgium reacted? While USMNT’s coach, Mauricio Pochettino, praised the decision, it has been received poorly by the Belgium team, whose coach Rudi Garcia said: “I didn’t know that 5 July was equal to April Fools’ Day at Fifa.” The Royal Belgian Football Association said it was “astonished” by the decision and was “investigating all potential options”, while Uefa said Fifa had crossed a “red line”.

What have been the security concerns at the World Cup? In another development, the FBI has revealed it has seized more than 600 drones flying over the tournament games in US cities. Drone restrictions apply to three hours before and after a scheduled game.

For many Americans, the weekend’s celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, which promised liberty and equality for all, is less a celebration than a reckoning. The US has arrived at this milestone amid sustained attacks on voting rights, civil rights and democratic institutions – challenges that organizers say are taking the country back generations. Fabiola Cineas presents views from seven activists on where the nation should be heading.

The actor tells Steve Rose in this interview that “it was pretty depressing when Stranger Things ended”, but that having a built-in fanbase from the show has been a fillip to his musical aspirations – he made music long before he was an actor. Finn Wolfhard also makes this fine observation about being cast as a different kind of character to the role of Mike Wheeler that gave him his breakthrough – “It’s fun sometimes to be the dick.”

Perhaps slightly less exciting than the answer “aliens”, but the Australian Space Agency has said the six so-called “space balls” found in north Queensland were probably from a “foreign rocket body” that had recently re-entered the atmosphere after being in orbit.
