Trump says TikTok buyer found
US President Donald Trump announced in a Fox News interview that a buyer has been found for TikTok, the popular video-sharing platform facing a potential ban in the United States. The announcement comes after Trump extended the deadline for the sale, now set for September 17, under a law passed by Congress in 2024. Responding to a question about the buyer's identity, Trump said it was a group of 'very wealthy people,' promising to reveal more details 'in about two weeks'. The 2024 law requires TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to divest its ownership due to national security concerns over data privacy and fears of potential influence operations by Beijing. Lawmakers from both the Republican and Democratic parties have expressed bipartisan concern over China's access to user data and its ability to sway public opinion in the US. This marks the third time Trump has extended the sale deadline, keeping TikTok accessible to its more than 170 million US users in the meantime. US media reports indicate that an agreement was reached in early April outlining the separation of TikTok's US operations from ByteDance through a restructuring of ownership. Under the proposed deal, non-Chinese investors' shares would increase from 60 percent to 80 percent, while ByteDance would retain a reduced 20 percent stake. However, escalating trade tensions, including Trump's announcement of new tariffs on trading partners, including China, have delayed the deal's approval from the Chinese side. On Friday, China confirmed the details of a broader trade agreement with the US, saying Washington would 'lift restrictions,' while Beijing would 'review' export controls on sensitive materials such as rare earth elements essential for electric batteries, missile systems, satellites, and radar technology. Trump added Sunday, 'I think I'll probably need China. I believe President Xi will go ahead with it,' referring to the need for final approval from Chinese leader Xi Jinping to complete the deal.

Israel busts decade's largest Hamas network in West Bank
ALBAWABA — The Pentagon and FBI are working together to look into how a secret intelligence report about the recent U.S. bombings on Iranian nuclear sites got out without permission. The investigation came about because of rising debate over different stories about how well the plan worked. On Sunday night, President Donald Trump revealed that federal officials are looking into who shared the first report, which was first seen on CNN and questioned whether the strikes were successful. "Moving such heavy material is nearly impossible, and it hasn't happened," Trump said again when asked if Iran had moved its refined uranium before the attack. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Kane, said that the sites that were attacked had "extensive damage," but he said that a full review of the damage would take more time. At the same time, the White House kept saying that the mission had been successful and that the leaked information was "low confidence" and "misleading." Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, was very angry at what she called "selective and unlawful leaks" in the news media. She was especially angry at CNN. According to her, government information shows that the action was "highly effective" at weakening Iran's nuclear powers. Because of the leak, the Biden government has reduced the amount of secret information that can be sent to Congress. A top White House source said that the secret information had been put on a safe private platform that was meant to help politicians and national security agencies work together. As part of its own study, the government is now looking again at who can access these kinds of tools. - الخلية العسكرية الأكثر تعقيدًا خلال العقد الأخير .. الشاباك يكشف عن خلية لحركة حمـاس في الخليل فائقة التعقيد - الخلية مكونة من 60 شخصًا موزعين على 10 خلايا صغيرة - الشاباك كشف عن مخبأ تحت الأرض كان يستخدم لإيواء المطاردين وتخزين الأسلحة - الخلية تعمل منذ زمن طويل فقد نفذ… — أحمد جرار (@j_jarar) June 29, 2025 As for the claim that Iran's supply of refined uranium had been moved before the attack, Leavitt said that intelligence reports had shown that no such activity had been seen at key sites like Fordow. Report that is being argued over casts doubt on the facts Reports say that the secret assessment went against what Trump said in public, which was that three nuclear sites had been "completely destroyed." The study instead said that the attacks might have only put off Iran's nuclear program for a few months. This story has sparked a public discussion and made people wonder about how open the U.S. intelligence community really is. The debate has made things even more tense between Iran and the US at a time when things are still trying to get back to normal after the 12-day war between Israel and Iran.
