They later return home to breed and die.Birds routinely navigate by starlight, but the moths are the first known invertebrates, or creatures without a backbone, to find their way across such long distances using the stars.’The moths really are using a view of the night sky’Scientists have long wondered how the…
U.S. President Donald Trump said late Saturday that the American bombing of the major nuclear sites was a “very successful attack” and threatened additional assalts if Tehran does not make peace. The targeted Fordo enrichment plant was described by Trump as “completely and totally obliterated.” The American aistrikes were welcomed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who lauded Trump’s “bold decision” as a move that “will change history.” British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, meanwhile, called for deescalation and urged Iran to return to diplomatic negotiations to address the “grave threat” of its nuclear program. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)…

“The U.S. has been involved in the aggression since day one,” said Araghchi, speaking in Istanbul, which is hosting a meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). The conference was convened after Israeli air attacks on Iranian military facilities, aiming at dismantling its nuclear program, escalated into a full-blown ballistic exchange that has lasted nine days now. Trump has lent his support to Israel, but has so far not decided whether to intervene militarily on the side of the American ally. Araghchi added that Tehran is “absolutely ready for a negotiated solution for our nuclear program.” Turkey’s President Recep…
Tsikhanovski’s arrest provoked widespread protests in Belarus, which didn’t, however, result in the ouster of its strongman leader, Lukashenko. The opposition leader’s wife, Tsikhanouskaya, was forced into exile to Lithuania after Lukashenko declared himself the winner in the contested 2020 elections. Russian media outlet RBC named journalist Igor Karney and Minsk academic Natalia Dulina among the other freed prisoners. Kellogg’s trip to Belarus was organized with the aim of freeing prisoners, as well as nudging the country closer to the West in a bid to improve the atmosphere to one that is more conducive for peace talks between Russia and…
“Your actions will cost you a heavy price,” the group said in a string of ominous messages on the messaging app, sharing screenshots of server login credentials, the names and details of employees as well as the personal details of Tirana residents.

A special-purpose camp was built…
SAFE would offer long-term EU-backed loans — up to 45 years, with a 10-year grace period — to member states for defense procurement and industrial projects. It is being advanced under Article 122 of the EU treaties, typically used for economic emergencies. But the Bundestag report notes this legal workaround “is not universally accepted,” and warns that “even the financing of defense-related goods and services” could fall under the treaty ban — especially when “intended for Ukraine and not for EU member states.” SAFE was approved last month by member countries, including Germany. The parliamentary report is unlikely to have…
Switzerland, Slovakia and Bulgaria made a similar announcements, while the U.K. announced it is pulling embassy staff out of Iran and also offering citizens flights out of Israel. The withdrawal from the region is happening against a backdrop of intense diplomacy, as European officials try to defuse the deadly conflict. Last week, Israel launched a series of air strikes on Iran, in an attack aimed at dismantling Tehran’s nuclear weapons program. That’s sparked a sustained ballistic exchange that has now entered its second week, with Iran responding to the Israeli incursions with volleys of missiles aimed at Tel Aviv and…
Talks between Washington and Brussels are nearing crunch time, with Trump threatening from July 9 to hike tariffs on most EU exports to the United States to 50 percent from 10 percent now. The Commission, which handles trade policy on behalf of the bloc’s 27 members, consulted member states and businesses on a second list of goods that would be hit with tariffs as soon as mid-July, should the EU and the U.S. fail to agree to end their raging trade war. EU capitals have been lobbying to remove sensitive goods from the lists, fearing that Trump could target them…
