A US-based doctor has raised concerns about the health of Donald Trump after his recent posts on Iran. Dr Vin Gupta said Trump is showing “all the signs of dementia”. He listed symptoms such as “erratic” behaviour, confusion, and “illogical train of thought”. He also said the issue appears to be “developing and worsening gradually”. The comments came after Trump posted unusual messages online. The White House rejected the claims. It called them “political bias” and “insane conspiracy theories”. Officials said the criticism was driven by political opponents.

The fragile ceasefire between Iran, Israel and the United States is under strain after heavy Israeli strikes in Lebanon. More than 250 people were killed in a single day, reports said. In Beirut, Israel claimed it killed Ali Yusuf Harshi, a close aide and nephew of Hezbollah chief Naim Kassem. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “We continue to strike Hezbollah with force, precision, and determination.” Hezbollah responded with rocket fire towards northern Israel. Iran called the strikes a “grave violation” of the ceasefire. The United Nations also condemned the attacks. The situation has raised fears that the ceasefire may collapse. (PC: Reuters)

Donald Trump has again raised the idea of taking control of Greenland. In a Truth Social post, he called it a "poorly run piece of ice".
