French foreign minister on Iran's nuclear program: 'It is essential that our security interests be taken into account'
With Donald Trump, Europe finds itself a spectator to American military power. Should Europeans resign themselves to fading into the background?
Let's stop beating ourselves up! To resolve the Iranian crisis, France and its German and British partners have a very powerful lever. With a simple letter in the mail, we can reimpose on Iran a global embargo on weapons, nuclear equipment, banks and insurance, which was lifted 10 years ago. If Tehran refuses to negotiate a strict and lasting framework for its nuclear activities that guarantees our security interests, we will be able to activate this mechanism over the summer.

Trump signs 'big, beautiful' bill on US Independence Day
US President Donald Trump signed his flagship tax and spending bill into law on Friday, July 4, capping a pomp-laden White House Independence Day ceremony featuring a stealth bomber fly-by. "America is winning, winning, winning like never before," Trump said at the event where he signed the so-called "One Big Beautiful Bill" flanked by Republican lawmakers. The party fell into line and pushed the bill through a reluctant Congress on Thursday, in time for Trump to sign the bill as he had hoped on the Fourth of July holiday marking America's 249 th birthday. Two B-2 bombers of the type that recently struck Iranian nuclear sites roared over the White House at the start of the ceremony, accompanied by fighter jets on their wingtips. Pilots who carried out the bombing on Iran were among those invited to the White House event. The passage of the unpopular bill caps two weeks of significant wins for Trump, including an Iran-Israel ceasefire that was sealed after what he called the "flawless" US air strikes on Iran. Ever the showman, Trump melded his various victory laps into one piece of political theater at the ceremony marking 249 years of independence from Britain. The sprawling mega-bill honors many of Trump's campaign promises: extending tax cuts from his first term, boosting military spending and providing massive new funding for Trump's migrant deportation drive. Trump glossed over deep concerns from his own party and voters that it will balloon the national debt, while simultaneously gutting health and welfare support. "The largest spending cut," Trump said with First Lady Melania Trump at his side, "and yet you won't even notice it." Republican misgivings Trump forced through the "big beautiful bill" despite deep misgivings in the Republican Party − and the vocal opposition of his billionaire former ally, Elon Musk. It squeezed past a final vote in the House of Representatives 218-214 after Republican Speaker Mike Johnson worked through the night to corral the final group of dissenters. Trump thanked Johnson at the White House event. The legislation is the latest in a series of big wins for Trump that also included a Supreme Court ruling last week that curbed lone federal judges from blocking his policies, and a NATO deal to increase spending. But the bill is expected to pile an extra $3.4 trillion over a decade onto the US deficit. At the same time it will shrink the federal food assistance program and force through the largest cuts to the Medicaid health insurance scheme for low-income Americans since its 1960s launch. Up to 17 million people could lose their insurance coverage under the bill, according to some estimates. Scores of rural hospitals are expected to close as a result. Democrats hope public opposition to the bill will help them flip the House in the 2026 midterm election, pointing to data showing that it represents a huge redistribution of wealth from the poorest Americans to the richest.

Hamas says it is ready to start Gaza ceasefire talks 'immediately'
Hamas said Friday it was ready to start talks "immediately" on a proposal for a ceasefire with Israel in Gaza after responding in "a positive spirit" to a draft deal envisaging a release of hostages and negotiations on ending the conflict. "The movement is ready to engage immediately and seriously in a cycle of negotiations on the mechanism to put in place" the terms of a draft truce proposal received from Egyptian and Qatari mediators, the militant group said in a statement. Hamas earlier said that it was holding discussions with leaders of other Palestinian factions on the issue. It was not clear if Hamas's statement meant it had accepted the proposal from US President Donald Trump for a 60-day ceasefire. Hamas has been seeking guarantees that the initial truce would lead to a total end to the war, now nearly 21 months old. Trump said Tuesday that Israel had agreed on terms for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza and urged Hamas to accept the deal before conditions worsen. The health ministry in Gaza said the number of Palestinians killed in the territory has passed 57,000. The ministry does not differentiate between civilians and combatants in its count, but says more than half of the dead are women and children. The ministry is run by medical professionals employed by the Hamas government, and its numbers are widely cited by the UN and international organisations. The war began when Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking roughly 250 hostages.

Iran resumes international flights after a 20-day suspension
Iran's Imam Khomeini International Airport has welcomed its first foreign flight since the resumption of international air travel after a 20-day suspension, local media reported on Friday. According to Student News Network, Mehdi Ramezani, spokesperson for Iran's Civil Aviation Organisation, confirmed the Flydubai flight from the United Arab Emirates landed in Tehran on Wednesday, after extensive security and diplomatic coordination. The landing marks a "new phase of stability" for Iran's aviation sector, Ramezani said, after a recent 12-day conflict with Israel. He added that it represented a return to calm and intelligent management of the nation's airspace. International flights will gradually resume to specific destinations in coordination with authorities, to meet public needs and restore air links, he said. Iran and Israel agreed to a ceasefire last month after a bloody conflict that saw Israel striking hundreds of Iranian military infrastructure targets and nuclear-related sites, and Iran firing missiles at Israel in return. The truce was brokered by the US after it dropped 30,000 pound "bunker buster" bombs on three of Iran's key nuclear sites.
