Donald Trump set to launch America's 250th birthday bash in Iowa heartland
President Trump is all set to launch America's yearlong 250th birthday celebration Thursday at Iowa's State Fairgrounds, a location rich with political meaning for him. This spot hosted his first 2015 campaign helicopter arrival and 2023 rally, cementing Iowa's role in his rise. Organizers chose Iowa as "America's heartland" to symbolize national unity, though the state backed Trump in the elections always. The event featured Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA," fireworks, and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins alongside Homeland Security's Kristi Noem. Trump timed it perfectly: Hours earlier, the House narrowly passed his $3.4 trillion tax-and-spending bill, letting him tout policy wins before cheering crowds. America250 organizers hope the festivities bridge America's deep divides, but face steep challenges. Recent polls reveal a massive patriotism gap: 90% of Republicans say they're "proud to be American" versus just 33% of Democrats. Trump's approval rating sits at 40% amid criticism of his policies, including June's military parade that most Americans deemed wasteful. Even celebration funding is contentious: Federal humanities grants were cut, forcing cancellations of local programs like Declaration of Independence readings in Illinois. Iowa Democrats protested Trump's visit, warning his new law's Medicaid cuts will "devastate rural hospitals" and create "longer waits for care" . State fairgrounds fences separated supporters from protesters during the event. While Iowa launches the festivities, the main "Great American State Fair" will unfold on Washington's National Mall in 2026 with pavilions from all 50 states. Trump first pitched this fair during his 2023 campaign, envisioning it in Iowa, but planners shifted it to the capital for broader impact. Yearlong events include student contests answering "What does America mean to you?", a traveling tech exhibit, and a national time capsule buried in Philadelphia. Despite nonpartisan origins, Trump allies now dominate the planning commission, including producers of his rallies and a former "Stop the Steal" organizer. Conservative groups like PragerU are creating educational materials, prompting concerns about ideological framing of history. As fireworks lit the Iowa sky, the question remained: Can this celebration unite a nation where even pride in country splits along party lines?

Won't attack US: Iran says no plans to escalate, but will continue Uranium enrichment; open for talks
Donald Trump (left), Ayotollah Khamenie (AP) Iran has no plans to further retaliate in response to the US strikes on its nuclear program last month, a senior government official told NBC News on Thursday, adding that the country is open to talks with Washington. However, deputy foreign minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi said Iran has no intention of stopping its uranium enrichment, confirming that the country will continue developing its nuclear program despite the recent attack. 'We have already responded to that, as long as there is no act of aggression being perpetrated by the United States against us, we will not respond again,' Takht-Ravanchi said when asked if more was to come. After the US bombing, Iran fired missiles at the American Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. However, Qatari defenses stopped the attack, as Iran had given a warning ahead of time. This warning seemed to show that Iran was trying to ease tensions following a nearly two-week conflict with Israel that led to direct involvement from the US. President Donald Trump posting on Truth Social, responded in a similarly conciliatory after the Iranian strike,to thank Iran for the advance warning and saying that 'they've gotten it all out of their 'system.'' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trending in in 2025: Local network access control [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Takht-Ravanchi voiced dismay over the missile exchanges while Iran was in talks with Trump about its nuclear program. Iran had been limiting its uranium enrichment under the 2015 nuclear agreement with the US, called the joint comprehensive plan of action, but that deal essentially collapsed in 2018 when Trump pulled the US out. 'How can we trust the Americans? We want them to explain as to why they misled us, why they took such an egregious action against our people,' the deputy minister added. But he went on to add that his country would be open to talks. 'We are for diplomacy and we are for dialogue,' Takht-Ravanchi said, adding "but the US government needs to convince us that they are not going to use military force while we are negotiating. That is an essential element for our leadership to be in a position to decide about the future round of talks.' Iran has kept quiet about the real effects of the strikes, raising concerns that the attacks may have pushed its nuclear program deeper into secrecy. 'The damage is serious,' Takht-Ravanchi said about the American attack, without elaborating further. Iran insists it is not seeking to build a nuclear bomb. As a member of the 1970 nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT), it has the right to enrich uranium for use in nuclear energy. 'Our policy has not changed on enrichment,' Takht-Ravanchi reiterated to NBC. 'Iran has every right to do enrichment within its territory. The only thing that we have to observe is not to go for militarization.' He also said that Iran is 'ready to engage with others to talk about the scope, the level, the capacity of our enrichment program.'
