A White House feud erupts after CNN’s Kristen Holmes asks a question about aide Natalie Harp—prompting an explosive response from the Trump administration, who called her “disgusting and inhumane,” while Trump labeled her “very disrespectful” and “fake news.” The controversy spirals as Senator Ossoff accuses Trump of prioritizing Harp over duties, even referencing a $400 million ballroom project—prompting Trump to lash out at Ossoff. Harp, often seen with Trump and known for writing devoted letters, remains central to the drama. CNN defends Holmes, calling the attacks “beneath the office,” while the White House Communications Director fires back at Ossoff with harsh rhetoric. What began as a simple inquiry has devolved into a chaotic clash of personalities, overshadowing policy and exposing deepening tensions within the administration.

Russia and Japan are locked in a new diplomatic showdown over disputed Kuril Islands, with Putin’s visit sparking outrage in Tokyo that led to a tit-for-tat ambassadorial summons. Moscow’s Foreign Minister Lavrov called Japan’s protest “below the line of decency,” while Japan’s ambassador, Akira Muto, showed up unexpectedly after being initially reported sick—prompting Russia to lecture Tokyo on diplomatic decorum. The islands, seized by the Soviet Union in 1945, remain a flashpoint amid broader tensions fueled by Japan’s alignment with G7 sanctions against Russia and its support for Ukraine.

Iraq’s PM orders probe into drone strike on Kurdish PM’s office and intelligence chief’s home, blamed by Kurds on Iran — but Tehran calls it a suspicious false-flag move to stir regional tensions. Amid rising drone attacks targeting US interests in Kurdistan since the Middle East conflict began, Iran warns of foreign manipulation and urges vigilance. The US condemns the assault as destabilizing, while Iraq presses pro-Iran militias to disarm before the end of the U.S.-led coalition mission — a deadline that could reshape power dynamics in the region.
