From CNN: U.S. forces have struck Iranian military

From CNN: U.S. forces have struck Iranian military installations in Bandar Abbas in what CENTCOM describes as acts of self-defense, following a series of Iranian attacks on American warships in the Strait of Hormuz. Missile sites and mine-laying vessels were among the targets.

The latest U.S.-Iran peace proposal aims to transform a fragile ceasefire into a longer-term agreement through a memorandum of understanding that would give both sides 60 days to negotiate a final deal.
The proposal would require Iran to restore normal shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and enter talks on its nuclear program, including its highly enriched uranium stockpile. In return, Tehran is seeking access to frozen assets and sanctions relief, while Washington says any concessions would depend on Iran meeting its commitments. Major disputes remain over Iran’s nuclear activities, sanctions, and regional influence, leaving the outcome uncertain.

MEXICO CITY, May 25 (Reuters) – Mexican President

MEXICO CITY, May 25 (Reuters) – Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Monday her government agreed to allow the Iranian national football team to stay in Mexico during the World Cup, adding that the United States did not want to host the team.

Sheinbaum said football’s governing body FIFA approached her government after the U.S. said it did not want Iran‘s squad to stay in the country throughout the tournament, despite Iran playing all three of its group matches there.

“We have no reason to deny them the possibility of staying in Mexico,” Sheinbaum said during her daily press conference.

The White House and the State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Mehdi Taj, head of Iran‘s football federation, said on Saturday the team’s base would be moved from Arizona to the Mexican border city of Tijuana during the tournament.

Taj added that the move would help avoid visa-related complications and that the squad would be able to travel directly to Mexico aboard Iran Air flights.

The Iranian team’s participation in the June 11-July 19 tournament had been in question since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran in late February.

Iran will play its first two Group G matches in Los Angeles against New Zealand on June 15 and Belgium on June 21, before facing Egypt in Seattle on June 26.

WASHINGTON, May 25 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that he has asked countries including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey to join the Abraham Accords en masse to normalize relations with Israel as he tries to negotiate an agreement to end the war with Iran.

Trump said he spoke on Saturday to leaders of those countries, as well as the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, which have already signed the accords, a set of agreements to normalize relations with Israel.

“I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords, and that, if Iran signs its Agreement with me, as President of the United States of America, it would be an Honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled World Coalition,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

He cited “all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together.”

Trump said those countries would be honored to have Iran as part of the accords once a deal to end the war is reached.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trump’s post. The other countries cited by Trump did not immediately respond to the Abraham Accords post.

Trump said one or two of the countries he spoke with may have a reason for not joining but most should be “ready, willing, and able to make this Settlement with Iran a far more Historic Event than it would, otherwise, be.”

Trump also said negotiations with Iran were “proceeding nicely” but gave no indication a deal was imminent.

Longtime Trump ally Senator Lindsey Graham has embraced the idea of linking an Iran deal to expanding the Abraham Accords as “beyond transformative for the region and world.”

Others see the strategy as something to make an Iran deal more palatable to skeptics.

NEW DELHI/ISLAMABAD, May 25 (Reuters) – Iran and the United States played down hopes for an imminent breakthrough in the three-month-old war on Monday, with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying there will either be a good agreement or Washington would deal with the country in “another way.”

Rubio told reporters in New Delhi that the U.S. would give diplomacy every chance to succeed before exploring “alternatives”, after President Donald Trump said on Sunday he had told his representatives not to rush into any Iran deal.

There was a “pretty solid thing on the table in terms of their ability to open up the strait, get the strait open, enter into a very real, significant, time-limited negotiation on the nuclear matter, and hopefully we can pull it off,” Rubio said.

Iran‘s foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday that Iran was negotiating an end to the war and was not currently discussing nuclear issues.

The spokesperson added that a framework had been reached but no one could say an agreement between the United States and Iran was imminent. The potential memorandum of understanding contained no specific details about the management of the Strait of Hormuz, which belongs to the coastal countries, he said.

A day earlier, Trump wrote on Truth Social that the U.S. blockade on Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz would “remain in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed”.

He added, “Both sides must take their time and get it right.”

May 24, 2026 (CBS News 60 Minutes) - Payam Khastkhodaei thought it was the biggest achievement in the world when he placed second in a state-level piano competition. Then his students started sweeping competitions across the United States.

The 32-year-old son of Iranian immigrants has come up with a new method of teaching that has students loving their piano lessons and performing at high levels. Khastkhodaei says his students have higher success rates and are learning more quickly than students learning piano via traditional methods.
"Our students don't just learn piano, they love piano," Khastkhodaei said. "And that's one of the biggest keys to it."

The Payam Method is spreading thanks, in part, to Hadi Partovi, the father of one of Khastkhodaei's students and the co-founder and CEO of code.org. Partovi sees a lot of parallels between his platform, which has been used to teach coding to hundreds of millions of students, and the Payam Method.
"One is, we don't teach coding with ones and zeros or, you know, angle brackets and semicolons. We teach it with blocks and dragging and dropping to make it easier," Partovi said. "Similarly, Payam Music teaches music starting with ABCs and 123s before you learn the code of how music is written."

Partovi is now CEO of Payam Music, with the goal of taking the tiny school, now with just a few hundred students, national.
