US will sanction a large bank on Monday, treasury secretary says US treasury secretary Scott Bessent has said the Trump administration will sanction a large bank next week as it continues to apply economic pressure on Tehran to end a more than six-month US conflict with Iran. He named neither the financial institution nor its country during his appearance on "Real America's Voice," but said the move would happen on Monday. Bessent said the move was originally scheduled for Friday but was postponed because of the ceremonies marking the 25th anniversary of the 11 September 2001. "We are just going to continue with this process until everyone stops dealing with this regime," he said. Report by Reuters

US diesel prices surpass $6 a gallon for first time as oil hits highest since May The US national average price of diesel on Thursday surpassed $6 a gallon for the first time ever, according to price tracker GasBuddy, as the US-Israeli war on Iran and Ukrainian attacks on Russia’s refineries have squeezed supply. The latest surge in fuel costs is adding to inflationary pressures that have already strained consumers and businesses this year, creating a political headache for President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers as they seek to defend thin congressional majorities in November's midterm elections. Crude oil futures on Thursday hit their highest level since mid-May. Brent settled at $107.63 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate futures at $102.48 a barrel.

Trump says he does not regret waging war against Iran President Donald Trump said he did not regret going to war against Iran despite the impact the conflict may have on the November US midterm elections. "I don't believe in the word 'regret'. You can always question yourself a little bit," Trump said in an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham when asked if he regretted the Iran war due to the impact it may have on the elections. "If I had it do again, I would do exactly as I did," Trump said in the interview broadcast on Thursday on "The Ingraham Angle" show. Trump dismissed suggestions that some of his supporters were upset and demoralised about the war. "I don't think they're demoralised. I think they're very proud of the fact that I'm not letting Iran have a nuclear weapon," Trump said. Trump reiterated his thinking that the war will end immediately after the midterm election. "It ends right after the election," Trump said in the interview. He made similar comments on Wednesday, alleging Tehran was trying to influence the elections that will determine whether Trump's Republican Party retains control of Congress. Report by Reuters

Pro-Palestine activist wins mayoral Democratic primary in Rhode Island Submitted by MEE staff on Thu, 09/10/2026 - 20:20 David Morales is all but guaranteed the office in the deeply liberal capital Providence Democratic candidate for mayor in Providence, Rhode Island, David Morales, addresses supporters in an undated photo at a labour union rally organised by the North Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters (David Morales campaign) Off A vocal Israel critic and supporter of Palestinian rights has won the Democratic mayoral primary in America's smallest state. Rhode Island State Representative David Morales, 27, unseated the incumbent mayor of the capital, Providence, on Wednesday and is now likely to become the youngest mayor in the city's history come November. Morales's budget was less than a quarter of that spent by his opponent, Brett Smiley. Rhode Island is a deep blue liberal state that is all but certain to vote Democrats into office. Morales, a self-described Democratic Socialist, is endorsed by Senator Bernie Sanders. Sanders' 2016 run for president inspired Morales to seek political office, and he won a seat in the Rhode Island legislature at the age of 22, his campaign website said. He modelled his campaign on that of New York City mayor and progressive kingmaker, Zohran Mamdani, using viral social media videos to address residents and their most pressing problems. Morales also employed consistent message discipline and focused on affordability issues. "What is the Democratic Party if not its voters? " Mamdani said of Morales' win on Thursday. "From coast to coast, Americans are clear: No more status quo politics. We want real change," Sanders wrote on X. Israel affect As in much of the rest of the country over the past year, Israel became a focal point of this relatively small-town race. Survey finds 60 percent of Americans view Israel unfavourably following Iran war Read More » Morales went after Smiley for his advisory position with the group, Combat Antisemitism Movement, which is vehemently pro-Israel. Support for Israel among Democratic voters, especially those under 25, has dropped dramatically since Israel began its genocide in Gaza after the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel three years ago. "David has been in the streets with the Palestinian rights movement for years... He has consistently called for an end to US support for apartheid and genocide," the advocacy group, Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), said in a statement. "David proudly endorsed an upcoming city ballot initiative to cut an estimated $2.5 million in investments in Israel and other countries committing genocide. This will be the first legally binding divestment vote in US history. " That undertaking led the Jewish Insider news outlet to suggest the "subtext" of such legislation was antisemitic. But the enthusiasm for the Rhode Island primary election mirrored that of Michigan and New York, among others, where a record-breaking number of voters cast their ballots in early voting. The upcoming midterm elections on 3 November, which will decide who assumes power across local and congressional offices, are seen as a referendum on President Donald Trump and the direction in which he has taken the country. The Rhode Island Current reported that 37,444 early, in-person ballots were cast by close of business on Tuesday, which is more than double the 16,900 early, in-person ballots cast in 2022, and three times as many as the 12,100 early ballots cast before the 2024 primary. There are just under 200,000 residents in Providence, according to the last US census conducted in 2020. "David is our 16th endorsed candidate to win the Democratic nomination this cycle. Our Palestine champions have been winning up and down the ballot – from city government, to state legislature, to the House of Representatives, to the Senate," JVP said. Morales will now face Republican David Talan in the midterm elections. US Politics News Post Date Override 0 Update Date Mon, 05/04/2020 - 21:19 Update Date Override 0

Opinion: UK settlement trade ban offers a lifeline to Palestine, and to an Israel on the brink The British government’s decision to ban trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories should not be controversial. It is an acceptance of facts, including the illegality of the Israeli occupation, as ruled by the International Court of Justice. Britain must act in accordance with international law and UN resolutions, which require countries to “distinguish, in their relevant dealings, between the territory of the State of Israel and the territories occupied since 1967”. Yet several elements make this move extremely significant, including Britain’s historic denial of the Palestinian right to self-determination, and its coordination with other western governments that have announced parallel steps against the Israeli occupation.

Former New York Mayor Giuliani designated 'anti-Muslim extremist' by Muslim advocacy group Submitted by MEE staff on Thu, 09/10/2026 - 18:47 Giuliani said Muslims wanted to 'dominate' Americans and are taught 'extremist religious education' Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani arrives for a 9/11 memorial ceremony in the courtyard of the Robert F Kennedy Justice Department headquarters, on 8 September 2026 in Washington, DC (Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images via AFP) Off The Council on American Islamic Relations (Cair) designated Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani as an anti-Muslim extremist on Wednesday, following what they called “bigoted” remarks during a TV interview he gave earlier this week. During the Newsmax appearance, Giuliani said that Mayor Zohran Mamdani should not attend Friday's 9/11 memorial service. “It offends me that he's coming,” he told Newsmax earlier this week. In that same interview, Giuliani, a former advisor to US President Trump during his first tenure, said that Muslims were taking over parts of America and Europe. Giuliani continued to perpetuate racist stereotypes, saying, “They (Muslims) want to dominate us. That's what they're taught the day they begin their extremist religious education. Mamdani is a clear supporter of that. All of the Muslims he supports are murderers. ” “Mr Giuliani has a decades-long record of targeting our community simply because of our faith, and we are designating him an anti-Muslim extremist as a result of his hateful views,” Cair research and advocacy director Corey Saylor said in a statement. When asked about Giuliani's comments on Monday, Mamdani declined to engage directly with the former mayor's criticism, saying he wanted the week to focus on “the families whose loved ones were stolen from them 25 years ago in the horrific act of terror of September 11, and a focus also on the first responders who did everything they could”. Giuliani joins over 100,000 people who signed a petition calling for the mayor not to attend, arguing that his past statements, political associations, and political views conflict with what the families consider the ceremony's solemn purpose. New York City Councilwoman Vicky Paladino - who is publicising the petition along with Queens Republican Councilwoman Joann Ariola - held a press conference on the steps of City Hall on Tuesday, saying that she is demanding Mayor Mamdani not come to the 9/11 memorial because “he does not belong there”. Councilwoman Paladino is known for making Islamophobic comments. Last year on social media platform X, she called for the expulsion of Muslims from western nations. In February, Paladino compared Mayor Mamdani’s leadership to “Islamic conquest” and said, “We are being replaced”. Executive director of Cair-New York Afaf Nasher says that “American Muslims should not have to defend our patriotism every time a deranged politician exploits that tragedy (9/11) to attack our community. ” 9/11 executive orders and transparency On Tuesday, Mayor Mamdani released 170,000 pages of records in relation to the 9/11 attacks in a portal open to the public. Mamdani held the press conference alongside comedian and The Daily Show host John Stewart, first responders, and the families of 9/11 victims. At the 9/11 museum, America remembers only its own Read More » The documents show that the city knew the air in Lower Manhattan was toxic and that inspectors found asbestos nearly everywhere they tested. According to the 9/11 Memorial, over 140,000 people have enrolled in the World Trade Center health programme, and 49,000 have been diagnosed with certified World Trade Center-related cancers More people have died due to 9/11 related illnesses than were killed on the day itself. Mayor Mamdani blames the leaders who were in charge. “People got sick because the leaders they trusted lied and told them they were safe to breathe in toxic air. And then when they began to contend with the symptoms of the illnesses that followed, the government that had not hesitated to send them into harm's way was nowhere to be found,” Mamdani said. Giuliani was mayor at the time of the 9/11 attacks. After the release of these documents, Mamdani was asked if Giuliani shouldn’t attend the 9/11 memorial out of respect for the 9/11 related cancer deaths, to which Mamdani responded that this day was about the victims and the families, not about any politicians. Earlier this month, Mandani signed two executive orders related to 9/11. The first establishes 9/11 as a day of remembrance, and the second strengthens New York City's operational and emergency preparedness.
