US President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Iran, threatening military action and the imposition of secondary tariffs if the nation fails to negotiate a new agreement regarding its nuclear program. In a recent NBC News interview, Trump confirmed that discussions are ongoing between US and Iranian officials but did not provide further details. He emphasized, "If they don't make a deal, there will be bombing," while also hinting at potential tariffs akin to those imposed during his previous term. Trump previously withdrew the US from the 2015 nuclear deal, which had imposed strict limits on Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief, and has since reinstated extensive sanctions. Iran, which has exceeded the uranium enrichment limits set by the original agreement, has dismissed Trump's ultimatum. Meanwhile, Tehran maintains that its nuclear program is strictly for civilian energy purposes, despite Western concerns over its potential military dimensions. 
Published: Mar 30 2025, 9 pmeznews.inIn a controversial move just days after declaring he is "not joking" about pursuing a third presidential term, Donald Trump has signed an executive order implementing significant changes to the U.S. voting system, prompting legal action from opposition Democrats. The order mandates that voters provide proof of citizenship to register and limits the counting of mail-in ballots received after Election Day. Critics, including the Democratic National Committee and advocacy groups, argue that these changes could disenfranchise millions of voters and violate presidential authority. Trump's order, titled 'Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,' is described by legal experts as an "abuse" of power, with concerns over its legality. While Trump has not detailed how he would achieve a third term, he acknowledged the constitutional hurdles, as the 22nd Amendment limits presidents to two terms. Historical precedents highlight the rarity of such ambitions, with only Franklin D. Roosevelt having served more than two terms.
Published: Apr 01 2025, 6 pmeznews.inDespite concerns of a potential economic slowdown, the U.S. is witnessing a significant surge in investment, with $1.7 trillion in commitments from both foreign and domestic sources in just three months. Major players, including Saudi Arabia, Apple, and a coalition of tech firms, have made substantial pledges aimed at bolstering the U.S. economy, particularly in critical sectors like AI and semiconductors. Saudi Arabia has committed $600 billion over four years, while Apple is investing $500 billion to create jobs and enhance AI infrastructure. However, skepticism remains about whether these promises will materialize, given past experiences with unfulfilled investment pledges. As President Trump promotes an "America First" policy, aimed at streamlining investments from allies while restricting those from adversaries like China, the economic landscape remains uncertain, especially with inflation and high-interest rates posing challenges for potential investors. The effectiveness of this strategy in stabilizing growth amidst recession fears is yet to be seen.

The incident, which occurred on March 24 near Perth, involved a school bus and a car but resulted in no reported injuries, according to the Western Australia Police Force.

Her lawyer, Brad Edwards, acknowledged her serious condition but remained hopeful for her recovery.

Published: Apr 01 2025, 5 pmeznews.inRelations between Iran and the United States have been fraught with tension and hostility since Iran's 1979 revolution, which saw the overthrow of the pro-Western Shah and the establishment of an Islamic Republic. Key historical events include the CIA-backed coup in 1953 that reinstated the Shah, the US provision of nuclear technology to Iran in the 1960s, and the 1979 hostage crisis that severed diplomatic ties. Subsequent decades were marked by US sanctions, military confrontations, and accusations of Iranian support for militant groups like Hezbollah. The 2015 nuclear deal briefly thawed relations, but the US withdrawal in 2018 and reimposition of sanctions reignited tensions. The situation escalated in 2020 with the US assassination of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, leading to retaliatory strikes. Recent developments include mutual prisoner releases and heightened hostilities following Hamas's attacks on Israel, with Iran's influence in regional conflicts remaining a point of contention.
Published: Apr 01 2025, 5 pmeznews.inNigerian professional boxer Gabriel Oluwasegun "Success" Olanrewaju tragically died after collapsing during a fight in Ghana, as reported by the BBC. The 40-year-old former light-heavyweight champion fell against the ropes in the third round without taking a punch. Despite receiving immediate first aid in the ring and being rushed to a hospital, he was pronounced dead 30 minutes after arrival. The Ghana Boxing Authority revealed that Olanrewaju had been deemed medically fit by the Nigeria Boxing Board Control (NBBC), which later clarified it had not authorized the specific bout. Initially scheduled to fight on Friday, he was unable to compete due to being overweight and chose to stay in Ghana for financial reasons. His former coach expressed concern over Olanrewaju's decision to take a last-minute fight, emphasizing the need for proper preparation. The boxing community mourns his loss, with the NBBC pledging support for his family.
Published: Apr 01 2025, 6 pmeznews.inImran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan and founder of the opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for the second time while incarcerated since August 2023. The nomination, announced by the advocacy group Partiet Sentrum, recognizes Khan’s efforts in promoting human rights and democracy in Pakistan. Khan was previously nominated for the award in 2019 for his role in de-escalating tensions with India. His current imprisonment stems from a 14-year sentence related to corruption and misuse of authority, amid a backdrop of four major convictions, three of which have been overturned or suspended. Khan, who lost power following a no-confidence vote in April 2022, maintains that all charges against him are politically motivated. The Nobel Committee will review nominations from qualified nominators before announcing the winner later this year.

Lebanon's health ministry reported the fatalities, which included a woman, and described significant destruction to a multi-storey building. Eyewitness accounts detailed a massive explosion that caused panic among residents. Israel's military confirmed Bdair's death, alleging that he had been collaborating with Hamas to plan attacks against Israeli civilians.

Published: Apr 01 2025, 4 pmeznews.inA fishing village in southwest Iceland was evacuated on Tuesday following a volcanic eruption, the eighth in the region since late 2023. The Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) reported that the eruption began at the Sundhnuksgigar Crater Row, located north of Grindavik, with live feeds capturing lava erupting from a fissure. Authorities dispatched a helicopter to assess the situation, having previously warned of an imminent eruption due to a series of earthquakes and signs of magma intrusion. Most of Grindavik's 4,000 residents had already been evacuated in late 2023, with many homes sold to the state after a series of eruptions began in March 2021, marking a significant shift in volcanic activity in the region. Iceland, situated on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, hosts 33 active volcanic systems, more than any other European nation.
