U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and G7 foreign ministers “agreed Iran can never develop or acquire a nuclear weapon,” Tammy Bruce, U.S. State Department spokesperson, stated on Wednesday.

Rubio met with G7 leaders during the NATO Summit on Wednesday and discussed U.S. President Donald Trump’s “decisive action” against key nuclear facilities in Iran and “reviewed next steps to promote durable peace between Iran and Israel.”

Also at the summit on Wednesday, Trump said the June 23 Israel-Iran ceasefire was holding up “very good.”

According to Bruce, the G7 leaders also discussed “the importance of maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait; deepening cooperation on China’s destabilizing actions in the South China Sea; and the role of G7 countries in maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific region.”

“I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first responders forever impacted by that horrific terror attack,” the mayor said.
A new CBS News-YouGov survey found Republicans leading Democrats by 2 percentage points on which party Americans trust more to handle Iran, even as most respondents said the conflict has been more difficult than the Trump administration expected.

“Even if she had resigned just beforehand, the immediate transition from an independent U.N. mandate to partisan political office would still raise serious questions about her independence and impartiality,” according to Hillel Neuer.
“We’re seeing increasing links, perhaps increasing motivations, when it comes to terror plots,” State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said.
The Toronto Police Service released a photo of the suspected vehicle and asked witnesses or those with relevant dash-camera or security footage to come forward.
