Massive ship carrying 3,000 cars sinks in international waters

Morning Midas sinks

A massive cargo ship carrying an estimated 3,000 vehicles capsized in international waters this week, causing it to sink, according to the US Coast Guard.

The Morning Midas, operated by the London-based company Zodiac Maritime, sank on Monday, June 23, around 5:30 p.m., officials said. The incident occurred about 450 miles southwest of Adak, Alaska.

According to the Coast Guard, the ship carried 1,530 metric tons of very low-sulfur fuel oil, along with 350 tons of marine gas oil. Additionally, it was transporting 3,048 vehicles, including 70 electric and 681 hybrid.

The Liberian-flagged Morning Midas, which was headed to Lázaro Cárdenas, Mexico, from China, experienced a fire on June 3. As USA TODAY previously reported, 22 crew members abandoned the ship after they failed to put out the fire.

UN condemns Gaza aid 'death trap' as dozens reported killed by Israeli fire

UN condemns death trap

"Why are our children's lives seen as so cheap?" demanded Umm Raed al-Nuaizi, a widow whose son was shot and wounded after he went overnight to collect food for his hungry family in central Gaza.

"My son went to get a grain of flour so that he could eat and feed his siblings, and now he is in the intensive care unit."

At least 46 people waiting for aid have been killed by Israeli fire in two incidents in central and southern Gaza, according to rescuers and hospitals.

UN agencies have condemned the US and Israel-backed food distribution system, with one official calling it "an abomination" and "a death trap".

Such deadly incidents have recently become a near daily occurrence but have attracted relatively little attention outside Gaza since Israel attacked Iran more than a week ago.

Without including the latest deaths, the UN has said that more than 410 Palestinians are reported to have been killed by Israeli gunfire or shelling since the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) began work in late May.

Zohran Mamdani pulls off NYC Democratic mayoral upset. Andrew Cuomo concedes

Mamdani

In a remarkable upset, 33-year-old state Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani has outperformed former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the June 24 Democratic New York City primary for mayor. Mamdani leads Cuomo 44% to 36% among first-place votes with 96% of ballots counted.

While the outcome won't be official until the instant runoff conducted with ballots that rank up to five choices is announed in July, Cuomo conceded the nomination less than 90 minutes after polls closed at 9 p.m.

“Tonight is his night. He deserved it. He won," Cuomo said.

Mamdani's lead is likely to grow in the instant runoff, because in polls he had far more lower-ranked votes than Cuomo from supporters of New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who came in third with 11% of first-place votes.

The Democratic nominee will begin the general election as the favorite in the eDemocratic city.

Iran’s Lithium and Antimony Discoveries Stir Hype and Skepticism

Iran finds lithium and antimoney

This week, the mining sector made headlines after officials confirmed Iran’s lithium and antimony discoveries across multiple provinces. The Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organization (IMIDRO) announced it had discovered 7,000 metric tons of antimony after a decade of exploration.

The largest deposit lies in Sistan and Balochistan and could supply 10% of global antimony demand. Antimony is vital in producing flame retardants, solar panels, and military hardware, making these findings strategically important.

As global demand increases and Chinese exports tighten, antimony prices are climbing, with projections hiring $30,000 per metric ton. Meanwhile, reports of high lithium concentrations in Qom Salt Lake and Semnan Province circulated after Iran’s Ministry of Industries, Mines, and Commerce published new data.

Man wrongfully deported to El Salvador must be returned to US, court rules

Man wrongfully seant to El Salnedvador must be retur

An appeals court has ordered the Trump administration to return a man wrongfully deported to El Salvador to the US and to explain how it is complying in a ruling apparently designed to break a pattern of apparent government defiance of judicial orders.

The US court of appeals for the second circuit in New York also required the government to provide a declaration of the current whereabouts and custodial status of Jordin Melgar-Salmeron, who was deported on 7 May less than half an hour after the court had expressly barred his removal.

Tuesday’s order seemed intended to forestall a repeat of the long saga surrounding the case of Kilmar Ábrego García, who was deported to his native El Salvador in March, in violation of a 2019 immigration court order preventing his repatriation there on grounds of possible persecution.

Judge blocks Trump from withholding EV charger infrastructure funds

electric vehicle charger

A federal judge on Tuesday issued a ruling blocking the Trump administration from withholding funds for electric vehicle charger infrastructure from 14 states.

U.S. District Judge Tana Lin said the government overstepped their Constitutional authority by refusing to disperse dollars attached to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed by former President Biden.

The initiative was created to help rid EV drivers of range anxiety, which is defined as the unease experienced by electric vehicle (“EV”) drivers when they are unsure where the next charging station might be and whether their car’s battery has sufficient charge to get them there.

“Congress appropriated $5 billion to fund a National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (“NEVI”) Formula Program, the purpose of which was—and still is— ‘to strategically deploy electric vehicle charging infrastructure and to establish an interconnected network to facilitate data collection, access, and reliability,’” Lim’s order.

Early intel assessment says Iran's nuclear program was only set back 'a few months'

Iran set back a few months

A U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly has confirmed early intelligence assessments by the Defense Intelligence Agency saying that the massive U.S. air campaign against three Iran nuclear sites on Saturday night did not "obliterate" Iran's nuclear enrichment program as President Trump claimed but instead set it back "a few months."

CNN first published news of the DIA assessment.

The official told NPR that military officials provided an early assessment of the intel to select senators — including Virginia's Mark Warner, the leading Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.

"I have a whole lot of questions for this administration," Warner told All Things Considered. "What are the next steps? How do we make sure that there's not Iran racing now to a dirty bomb? These are questions that we and frankly, the American people, deserve answers to."

President Trump’s public outburst Tuesday against Israel and Iran to stop shooting and adopt a ceasefire signaled he isn’t afraid to confront Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when it comes to protecting his efforts to present himself as a peace and dealmaker.

Trump’s profane-laced frustration that the U.S. ally Israel along with Iran should give up the fighting also sent a signal to MAGA World that the president was not beholden to Netanyahu’s war aims.

After backing off earlier threats that the U.S. could support regime change in Iran, Trump even raised the possibility of trade with Tehran and seeing the country’s oil on the markets.

“What is going on today is that the president’s putting pressure on Israel, he wants to maintain the ceasefire, he knows that any further fighting would not only call into question his diplomacy, but would risk involving America in a deeper, longer-term military involvement in the region,” said Michael Oren, the former Israeli ambassador to the U.S.

FBI sharpens focus on counter-terrorism after Iran strikes

FBI returns to work on counter terrorism

Officials across the US are on heightened alert after the US bombing of nuclear facilities in Iran.

There is no specific threat but in recent days, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have spoken with governors and law enforcement agencies across the country about the heightened threat environment.

The FBI has also shifted some of its agents, who have been helping on immigration-related cases, back to counter-terrorism efforts, sources told the BBC's US partner CBS.

Within two days of the Iranian strikes, US immigration officials arrested 11 Iranian citizens in the US, including men with alleged ties to Iran's military and paramilitary proxy groups.
