“This trail of destruction across southern Lebanon has rendered entire areas uninhabitable,” said an Amnesty director.
During the G7 Summit, President Trump slammed Joe Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021 and said he may regain the roughly $7 billion in equipment that was left behind.
President Trump lashed out at critics who say the agreement achieves less than the one President Barack Obama signed in 2015, and he threatened to bomb Iran again if it violated the deal.
President Trump denied that the United States would be part of a $300 billion rebuilding fund for Iran and argued that his agreement was better than the one Barack Obama struck in 2015.

Details of 14-point MOU revealed as senior US officials claim ‘major win’ despite significant concessions to TehranMiddle East crisis – live updatesThe Trump administration has released the text of its 14-point agreement with Iran, claiming it delivered a “major win” for the United States – even as it made significant political and financial concessions to Iran to reopen the strait of Hormuz and prevent a “worldwide depression”.In extraordinary remarks on Wednesday, Donald Trump went from threatening Iran with a new wave of attacks to suggesting the country had basic rights to enrich uranium for civilian use, that he would not pressure Tehran to abandon its ballistic missiles programme and the US was “going to have to give back” billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets.
