According to a report by the New York Post, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) accused Washington of breaching the memorandum of understanding signed on June 17 by US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.

In a statement, the IRGC said that key conditions of the agreement—including Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon, the complete removal of the naval blockade, and the withdrawal of US forces from the Persian Gulf and surrounding region—had not been fulfilled.

The group stated that the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed until those conditions are met and warned vessels against approaching the strategic waterway, saying any ship that disregards the directive could be targeted.

The development has raised concerns over regional security and the potential impact on global oil and shipping markets.

Trump stated, “I’m not joking,” emphasizing that “a lot of people want me to do it.”

To navigate the constitutional restrictions, Trump suggested unconventional strategies, including the possibility of Vice President J.D. Vance running for president in 2028 and subsequently stepping down to allow Trump to assume the role. When asked about this scenario, Trump acknowledged, “That’s one [method]. But there are others too.”

These remarks have ignited a firestorm of criticism and concern. Legal experts and political commentators have underscored the constitutional barriers, noting that the 22nd Amendment explicitly limits individuals to two elected terms as president. Additionally, the 12th Amendment prevents someone ineligible for the presidency from serving as vice president. Jeremy Paul, a law professor at Northeastern University, emphasized, “The Constitution is clear on this issue.”

Critics argue that Trump’s suggestions pose a significant threat to democratic norms.

Representative Daniel Goldman labeled the idea “a blatant attempt to erode the foundations of our democracy.”

Despite the legal and constitutional challenges, some of Trump’s allies support the notion of a third term. Steve Bannon, former White House Chief Strategist, has floated the idea, citing the need for continued leadership.

Historically, only Franklin D. Roosevelt served more than two terms, leading to the ratification of the 22nd Amendment in 1951 to formalize the two-term limit. Amending the Constitution to allow a third term would require significant legislative effort, including approval by two-thirds of both the House and Senate and ratification by three-quarters of the states. Given the current political climate, such a change appears highly unlikely.

As the debate continues, the prospect of a third term for President Trump remains a contentious and polarizing issue, raising fundamental questions about the interpretation of the Constitution and the future of American democracy.

The incident was said to have occurred on Sunday, January 26. It was gathered that the Anambra-state-born late doctor had a prolonged divorce battle with his estranged wife, including the custody of their children. He, however, lost the case after a US court ruled in favour of his ex-wife and ordered him to pay a monthly child support of $15,000.

Confirming the incident in a post shared on X.com, a Nigerian-American, Clayton Udo, said the court’s verdict took a severe financial toll on him, leading to his tragic death.

He wrote, “The abuse of African men in the USA must come to an end. In a deeply troubling case, Dr. Ikenna Erinne, an American-trained cardiologist, allegedly took his own life after an American court ordered him to pay his ex-wife $15,000 monthly, following a prolonged and contentious divorce case. This tragic incident highlights the systemic issues within the legal system that disproportionately affect African men.”

Udo, who claimed to be an expert in psychological and mental abuse, revealed that the deceased had spent thousands of dollars in legal fees before the court’s verdict turned out in favour of his ex-wife.

He further explained that the late doctor lost his license as a cardiologist to the case, adding that he died after shooting himself.

The baby was rescued from a hot car earlier this week after the kid’s family accidentally left the car key in the vehicle in Texas, USA.

Footage of the rescue taken by a bystander shows the scene unfolding in the parking lot in Harlingen, which is in the southern part of Texas.

A crowd can be seen surrounding the vehicle, working together to smash the front windshield with various instruments

It was not clear how long the child was in the vehicle before being rescued. According to the National Highway Traffic Administration, it takes just 10 minutes for a car to heat up by 20 degrees.

Children’s body temperature rises three to five times faster than adults. When children are left in a hot vehicle, the situation can quickly become dangerous.

“Since 2008, the president has disclosed his history with sleep apnea in thorough medical reports. He used a CPAP machine last night, which is common for people with that history,” White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said.

“Since 2008, the president has disclosed his history with sleep apnea in thorough medical reports. He used a CPAP machine last night, which is common for people with that history,” White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said.

Another White House official said Biden had begun using the CPAP machine in recent weeks to improve his sleep quality.

Biden was seen by reporters on Wednesday with marks on his face indicating he had been wearing some type of wide strap. Many CPAP users wear a mask held on by a strap.

Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. It can cause snoring and daytime fatigue and can lead to high blood pressure or heart problems, according to the Mayo Clinic. In the most common form of sleep apnea, the throat muscles relax, blocking the flow of air into the lungs.

Biden, 80, is the oldest person to serve as U.S. president, and both his age and health have been a focus of voters as he seeks a second, four-year term in the 2024 election. Age is one of several factors that increase the risk of developing sleep apnea.

According to a statement published on the United States Department of Justice website on Thursday, the repatriation brings the total amount forfeited and returned by the US in this case to approximately $332.4m.

In 2020, the department repatriated over $311.7m of the forfeited assets that had been located in the Bailiwick of Jersey.

Last year, the United Kingdom enforced the US judgment against the additional $20.6m.

In 2014, a judgment was entered in the District of Columbia ordering the forfeiture of approximately $500m located in accounts around the world, as the result of a civil forfeiture complaint for more than $625m traceable to money laundering involving the proceeds of Abacha’s corruption.

The forfeited assets represent corrupt monies laundered during and after the military regime of Abacha, who became Head of State through a military coup on November 17, 1993, and held that position until his death on June 8, 1998.

The complaint filed in the case alleged that Abacha, his son Mohammed, their associate, Abubakar Bagudu, now Kebbi State Governor, and others, embezzled, misappropriated, and extorted billions of dollars from the government coffers and others, and then laundered their criminal proceeds through US financial institutions and transactions.
