Federal investigation triggers political firestorm as Newsom blows up at Trump
Sky News host Danica De Giorgio discusses the US federal investigation against California Governor Gavin Newsom. “Let’s talk about Gavin Newsom … he and his wife are now under federal investigation in relation to tax-related conduct,” Ms De Giorgio said. “True to form, he’s turned to a well-trodden strategy, making political hay out of confrontation with Donald Trump. “He claims that Donald Trump was behind this Justice Department probe because ‘I am considering running for president’. “If he is indeed considering a run for president, well, lay it on the line, be transparent, if you’ve got something to show, show it, otherwise don’t back away.”

"Iran Is Not Going to Capitulate": Jeremy Scahill on Renewed War, Strait of Hormuz & More
The United States is continuing to bombard Iran amid an intensifying standoff over the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Central Command said on Sunday the United States had struck 140 targets in Iran. In retaliation, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had targeted U.S. military facilities across the Middle East. “U.S. CENTCOM, Central Command, and the Pentagon at large have concealed the impact of Iranian strikes, in some cases entirely,” says Jeremy Scahill, co-founder of Drop Site News, adding that “Trump has dramatically underestimated the Iranians from the very beginning.” The escalating attacks from both sides come after Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz last week and President Trump declared the ceasefire over. Iran insists that, according to the 60-day memorandum of understanding with the United States, commercial ships going through the waterway must “coordinate” their movements with Iranian authorities, which the United States has rejected. “There is no question, objectively speaking, that it’s the United States that’s been violating the terms of this agreement. It is quite explicit that Iran is supposed to have managing authority of the Strait of Hormuz,” says Scahill.

Iran warns US to 'be careful' after Trump threat
Iran warns US to 'be careful' after Trump threat Iran's chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf on Sunday warned the United States against making threats at the Islamic republic, vowing that our armed forces are ready to respond. Don't they think that if their threats had any effect, they would not have reached today's state of desperation? We do not take American threats into account, said Ghalibaf, after President Donald Trump threatened to strike Iran over its support for Hezbollah. They would do better to be careful with their statements; our armed forces are ready to respond to them in a different manner. No matter what they say, we are the ones who act.
